Since 2008 we have been helping the youngest children discover the world – in Polish and in English. Small groups, experienced staff and the everyday joy of learning through play, day after day.
In Latin, the name Hilaris means “cheerful” – and that is exactly what we try to give the youngest children every day: a sense of security, curiosity about the world and lots of joy in learning.
Small groups of no more than 16 children, cared for by two teachers – so that every little one is truly noticed.
English is with the children all day long – in play, in songs and in everyday situations, not just at the table.
A psychologist, a speech therapist and a special educational needs teacher are part of our on-site team, ready to support every child’s development.
Five meals a day, planned together with a dietitian – tasty, healthy and with young children’s development in mind.
Music and movement, chess, coding, sensory play, dance, Spanish, German and much more – most of it included in the fees.
We are part of the Passowska educational campus, and the reception class teacher moves up with the children into Year 1 – so learning carries on in familiar surroundings.
Each group has no more than 16 children and is cared for by two teachers – so the pace of learning can always be matched to each child’s age and needs.
Their very first preschool. Here everything happens slowly, one step at a time – surrounded by caring teachers.
Meet this groupThe age of endless questions. We nurture curiosity about the world through play and small group projects.
Meet this groupWe build independence and the confidence to perform in public – increasingly in English, too.
Meet this groupThe last year before school. We prepare children for a confident, smooth start in Year 1.
Meet this groupThis is neither a coincidence nor an exception — it is how we have worked for years. The teacher your child knows from the reception class moves up to school with the group and teaches them right through to the end of Year 3. So on the first of September, the person standing at the classroom door is a familiar face, not a stranger.
No change of teacher
Language learning is our passion. For almost twenty years we have been looking for methods that make English as natural a part of children’s lives as play or a favourite story.
“Follow me and I will listen to you!” — we follow the child’s interests, because it is often the child who decides what the rest of the day looks like.
Learning through stories and characters children love.
We name places, objects and activities familiar to children in English.
Seasons, numbers, nature – learnt in a second language too.
Apple Day, Christmas and other occasions to immerse children in English-speaking culture.
Children perform in English in front of their parents, building self-confidence.
Child-friendly exercises to prepare for the Starters exam.
Beyond the Ministry of Education core curriculum and the extended Hilaris programme, every week children take part in activities that develop their interests, movement, musicality and social skills.
Most activities are included in the fees. German, ceramics, taekwondo and ballroom dancing are charged separately, and speech therapy and piano lessons are taught one-to-one.
The menu is planned in cooperation with a dietitian, so that meals are not only tasty but also nutritious for growing bodies.
All meals are prepared and delivered by the trusted catering company Kuchnia Misia – specialists in home-style meals for children.
The preschool is open from 6:30 to 18:00, Monday to Friday. A steady, predictable daily rhythm gives children a sense of security – while still leaving room for spontaneous play.
From 6:30 we welcome the first children – a calm start to the day, everyone at their own pace.
A block of activities suited to the group’s age.
A meal, followed by quiet time.
Music and movement, art, sport – and flexible pick-up times, right up to 18:00.
Your child’s development is looked after by a team of experienced teachers, and on site we are supported by specialists who are always ready to answer parents’ questions.
An English teacher who oversees the quality of the educational programme.
Supports children and parents through settling in and emotional development.
Supports the healthy development of speech and communication in young children.
Responsible for the day-to-day running of the preschool and for working with parents.
Each group is cared for by the same two teachers, so children build a lasting, secure relationship with familiar faces – in reception, and later in the first years of school too.

My children love going there. Interesting activities, fantastic staff and clearly visible progress in foreign languages. Highly recommended!!!
Sylwia Pawlinaparent · FacebookFor my Olek it’s the best preschool under the sun. For me too, of course! Every day he pushes back the time I’m supposed to pick him up, and today he announced that he could actually sleep over and I don’t need to come for him at all.
Alex Sandraparent · FacebookI recommend this place to everyone. The teachers are very warm, friendly and committed, so the little ones are always smiling and happy to go to preschool. In my opinion, a place well worth recommending.
My children have already finished their education, but they will certainly remember it very fondly. I also recommend this place to every caring parent!
