Lalilu is filled with love and warmth. It is a place where people know one another and have a sense of community bound by friendliness and understanding. The relations between children, teachers and parents are based on mutual respect, support and trust.
The Place
I created Lalilu for my own children. It is the realization of my passion, to which I am fully committed. That’s why, as the owner, I am present at Lalilu every day and actively participate in the life of the kindergarten and nursery. This was the case from the very beginning, and it remains so today, even though Lalilu has been around for 14 years.
I am the author of the concept for the nursery and kindergarten. At Lalilu, I bring all my passions to life – love for children, music, languages, and design. I am a graduate of several fields, including music school and pedagogy, and I am not afraid to combine modern methods with traditional ones. I am fascinated by alternative education and continue my pedagogical and artistic explorations, constantly bringing new ideas to Lalilu.
However, what makes us truly unique is the team. Lalilu is all about an unconventional approach to education and because of that it attracts some outstanding teachers – who are creative, inquisitive, and open to new working methods. Currently there are seven native speakers from the UK and the United States in our team, who have extensive and diverse experience in international teaching styles. Teaching qualifications and fluent English are just a base topped by everyone’s unique personality, passion and talent. There are musicians, choir singers, Montessori specialists, culture experts, athletes, linguists and artists among us.
We work on the basis of our own curriculum, which we continuously develop and improve.
At Lalilu we mainly focus on developing creative thinking, creative attitude and social competences. Mathematical or linguistic skills are developed by combining different methods, mainly by involving child’s senses and by working with original, in-house developed learning materials.
Our graduates are bilingual and can easily continue their education in both Polish (including music) and English schools.
At Lalilu we pay a lot of attention to aesthetics. We are located in an intimate, pre-war villa, full of magical and non-obvious objects. We believe that aesthetic sensitivity (just like taste) should be developed from a very early age.
We are famous for our own healthy, excellent food prepared on site – our chef knows how to tackle our children’s taste buds and how to meet the expectations of their parents at the same time.
Lalilu is a place where children have the time to enjoy their childhood, at the same time expanding their natural creative skills. Home-like interiors and family atmosphere make the children feel happy and safe here. We are a family-oriented, boutique place that stands in contrast to large-scale educational facilities.
