Vrtec Pedenjped

The nursery school Pedenjped is a public, pedagogical – educational establishment, which organizes the education and guardianship of preschool. Our work is based on a child's vital and social needs as a whole, their physical and mental capacities, and the needs of the family and environment. Kindergarten is located at nine locations in the outskirts of the capital city Ljubljana and we can commend ourselves on having entirely dislocated highland units. We are performing a day-long programme for the children from 1 – 6. Our vision is for the nursery school to become a crossing point between the families, the pedagogical workers and the environment and for this connection to be filed with trust, mutual respect and unforgettable memories. We wish to enable the children to have optimal conditions for the development of a critical mind and autonomous judgement, so they grow into responsible, creative and eager-to-learn adults.
