Preschool in Viesturdārzs, which we built for our children
In the nursery branch, children grow up in an environment designed specifically for their needs. Spacious facilities, a separate house and access to the outdoor environment allow the children to move freely, explore and learn through experience.
Spacious courtyard, small garden and park close to daily outdoor activities
Pre-School-designed premises — safe, bright and transparent
An open environment where children and teachers create a sense of community
Adaptation program
Starting together with a parent
In the first two weeks, from 9 p.m. At 16.00 the parent comes with the child to get acquainted with the environment. During this time, the child plays, gets to know the rooms and teachers, while the parents have the opportunity to ask questions and understand the daily routine.
Gradual independence
When the child feels more secure, he begins to remain without a parent for short periods of time. The process takes place gradually, taking into account the pace and emotions of the child.
Individual approach to each child
We develop an individual start plan for each child, so that the adaptation is as easy as possible and appropriate to his needs.
Constant communication with parents
We regularly inform parents about the child's well-being, progress and everyday life. We dedicate time to conversations so that parents feel safe and involved throughout the adaptation process.

A spacious courtyard and park across the street provides children with the opportunity to move, play and develop outdoors every day. Regular activity in the fresh air helps to strengthen both physical health and emotional balance.
The branch is located in a separate two-story building, which is a cultural and historical object and has been completely reconstructed for preschool needs. The rooms are designed specifically for the development of children, and not adapted afterwards.
Spacious and bright rooms provide a comfortable environment for children. Each group has its own restrooms, which promotes independence and comfortable everyday life.
The work is carried out according to the “open house” principle, where the doors of the groups are open and the children live in the community. This contributes to social development, mutual communication and a sense of security.
Each employee knows each child, which provides an individual approach and a sense of security. Staff training is well thought out, and work is organized in such a way that children have a stable and reliable environment without frequent changes.
The branch has convenient access and accessible parking for parents. Bringing and removing a child is easy and quick.
The preschool works every weekday from 7:00 to 19:00. Everyday life is structured, but at the same time adapted to the needs and pace of development of the child.
Children are provided with 3 meals a day. In addition, healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables are available to help maintain energy throughout the day.
Regular celebrations with parents are organized, including Liīo, Mārtiņdiena, Miķeļdienas Market and charity events. This strengthens the sense of community and parental involvement in the child's daily life.
The project “Book Journey” allows families to exchange books. Children can take home new books and leave their own, encouraging reading habits and community engagement.
The branch has a special hall for celebrations and events, which provides a quality environment for various activities and joint events.
Once a month, a cultural day is held for children, where they sing, count poems and participate in theatrical activities. It develops confidence, language and speaking skills.
Once a month, a kitchen day is organized, where children, together with educators and parents, prepare food. It develops practical skills and promotes collaboration.
Children take part in the cultivation of vegetables and the creation of a small garden. Practicing in nature helps to develop an understanding of the environment and encourages interest in everyday processes.
At least once a semester, an excursion is organized, which is already included in the tuition fee. It expands the horizons of the child and gives new experiences outside the usual environment.
The branch has 4 age groups, formed in accordance with the stages of development of children. This provides a suitable environment for each child.
