The preschool has bright, colorful classrooms filled with toys and educational materials. Children make new friends, learn independence, and develop the skills needed to work and play together as a group. As part of our educational program, we offer Polish and English language activities, children’s literature, and early mathematics. Children also participate in engaging arts and crafts activities that develop fine motor skills, creativity, patience, attention to detail, and an appreciation for art. Our music and movement activities help children develop motor skills, coordination, a sense of rhythm, and musical awareness while providing plenty of opportunities for physical activity. Fantazja provides a warm, welcoming, and friendly environment where children can learn, play, and grow. We celebrate every child’s birthday and organize many special events throughout the year, including Preschooler Day, visits from Santa, Christmas performances, a Carnival Ball, Mother’s and Father’s Day, Children’s Day, end-of-school-year celebrations, and events honoring Polish and American holidays and traditions. Fantazja is a place where we do everything we can to help children feel happy, confident, creative, and excited to learn.
Our qualified preschool staff consists of dedicated teachers who have the appropriate education, experience, and a genuine passion for working with children. This allows us to provide high-quality care and education while recognizing and supporting the individual needs of every child.
Understanding of cultural heritage
Strong roots in cultural heritage give children a sense of belonging. Fluency in their native language helps them understand where they come from and why it is an important part of their identity. In today’s world, maintaining their language and culture sets them apart. You can teach them to be proud of where they come from, so that they can pass it on and continue the chain.
Communicating with family members
Grandparents and other family members in your home country may not speak English. It is important to maintain an open line of communication, especially if you are close with your immediate and extended family. For example, if you are from India but live in the UK, your parents may not know a word of English. By teaching your child their native language, you are enabling them to communicate and build relationships with their grandparents.
Development of intellectual and academic abilities
Studies show that children who grow up learning more than one language show signs of better overall intellectual development and have better critical thinking abilities. Especially in early childhood, they can establish better executive control of their brain. They have the ability to think, analyze, and process information in different languages, along with understanding the different contextual meanings. They can more easily create sentences and expressions.
Acquiring a second language
When a child speaks more than one language fluently, learning another becomes much easier. They have broader language abilities in terms of pronunciation and phonology. Learning community languages, such as English, is important, but maintaining the native language alive has many benefits that will only help the child become a better thinker and learner with better understanding and a sense of belonging to their roots.
The excellent results of the Fantazja preschool are the result of the professional work of the teachers, who are able to adapt their teaching methods to the needs of each child, thereby ensuring optimal conditions for development. As a result, children learning in a bilingual preschool often achieve better results in language skills, as well as develop their cognitive and emotional abilities.
