Our client is a private nursery school in Moscow offering the British National Curriculum to expatriate children and Russian nationals from 3 to 6 years old.

The nursery school was founded in the spring of 2004. All of the teachers are highly qualified and devoted native English speakers. The teacher to pupil ratio is 1:5, and the learning is based upon the United Kingdom`s “Foundation Stage” programme, that is a specially designed curriculum for early pre-school education. The school uses the immersion method, which is the most effective one for teaching children a foreign language. The Nursery group is for children from 3 to 4 years old, and the Reception group, which prepares children for primary school, is for children from 4 to 6 year olds.

The client’s primary job is to reach the individual needs of the children, and to empower them with confidence in their abilities. There is a relaxed, friendly, family-like atmosphere, full of warmth, trust and affection. Thus, children feel safe and secure, and gain self-confidence from the very start of their studies.
