Welcome to the website of Montessori Kindergarten Druhý krok. We are here to introduce you to a kindergarten for children aged three to pre-school age, where they will look forward to mornings and find exactly what they need.
We provide high-quality Montessori education for children, individually fostering the potential of each child. We believe that children learn best when they have the freedom of choice and work at their own pace. Children in our care will find a safe environment that supports their healthy intellectual, social, and emotional development.
Every corner of our kindergarten provides children with plenty of inspiration to explore, experiment, and learn through both beautiful and purposeful Montessori materials, as well as everyday practical items and natural elements.
Our empathetic teachers create a supportive environment where children feel welcomed. Children have the opportunity to choose activities that interest them, and teachers support and guide them in discovering new skills. Teachers dedicate enough attention to each child, respecting their opinions and individuality in communication. We emphasize ethical values such as respect, empathy, and mutual understanding.
Last but not least, regular communication with parents is important to us. We share information about the child’s progress and collaborate in all areas where it is needed.
We are proud that our kindergarten provides space for the individual growth and development of children. We believe that each child has unique potential, and our greatest task is to support and nurture it.
Join us and discover the beauty of Montessori education for your child!
My name is Kristýna Delmar, and I am the director of a Montessori nursery and preschool, which we run with respect for what has been built here, as well as a vision for further development.
I originally studied law and worked for several years in the legal profession, where I gained a solid foundation in responsibility, systematic thinking, and working with people.
Motherhood brought a fundamental change to my professional path. As a mother of three children, I began searching for an environment that would support their natural development, inner motivation, and emotional well-being. It was then that I became more closely acquainted with the Montessori approach, which is now deeply close to my heart.
Together with an experienced team, we create a stimulating, safe, and beautiful environment where children can naturally develop, learn new things, and form their first friendships. In the spirit of the Montessori approach, we support their independence, curiosity, and joy of discovery—always with respect for each child’s individuality.
As a director, but also as a mother, I see my role primarily as that of a guide. I deeply appreciate the trust that parents place in us by entrusting their children to our care, and it is important to me to be here not only for the children, but also for their parents—to listen, share, and seek the best together.
My wish is for our daycare and preschool to be a place where children come with joy and where they feel safe, accepted, and respected.
My name is Ľubica Gáliková, and I serve as the Director of Quality and Development at the children’s groups Prvý krok and Druhý krok. I am dedicated to creating an environment where children can grow and thrive in safety, respect, and the joy of discovery. I have a background in education, and in my work I combine the principles of independence, a prepared environment, and learning through direct experience with a conscious and sensitive approach to children’s needs, emotions, and relationships.
For me, not only the quality of education is important, but also an atmosphere of trust, respectful communication, and support for the authenticity of every child. I believe that the combination of Montessori pedagogy and a conscious approach creates a strong foundation for the healthy, harmonious, and joyful development of children.
Motto: I believe in children. Even on Monday mornings.
My name is Gabriela, and I am in charge of all HR and operational matters at Bylinky. I work very closely with the director and the teachers. My dream has always been to work somewhere where it has a meaningful impact on society as a whole. I wanted to be part of an organization where I can contribute to finding a balance between ensuring employee satisfaction and the well-being of the community in which people work. Only in this way can we provide loving care to children and their parents. 🙂
Also, I really love food! And I’m known for having a few favorite TV series that I watch over and over again. 🙂
Motto: I don’t really believe in them. 🙂
Motto: “The child is the closest to the truth.”
My name is Kačka and I will be part of the afternoon program at the Montessori preschool. I would like to fill our time together with music, movement, and rhythm – through playful musical and movement-based activities that encourage a natural joy of discovery. I have been involved in Montessori education for five years. I gained experience in nurseries here in the Czech Republic, but also at the Montessori House in Vienna, where I had the opportunity to further develop professionally. I also worked in a children’s group in Germany, which is why I am familiar with multicultural environments and communication in foreign languages.
Motto: ” Seize every opportunity, because some only come once in a lifetime.!”
My name is Bára, and I came to Druhý krok after fourteen years of intensive work with preschoolers and younger school-age children. As an afternoon teacher, I want to share my extensive experience in developing early reading skills that come before learning to read itself: understanding stories, perceiving connections, building vocabulary, expressing thoughts and emotions, developing concentration, and finding calm in today’s distracted world. I believe that these very skills — together with the Montessori approach and a safe environment where children feel accepted just as they are — create a strong foundation for future success at school and a fulfilled life in adulthood.
Motto: We all have as much freedom as we create for ourselves.
My name is Bára, and I work at the preschool as one of the afternoon program teachers. I have always enjoyed working with children; since my teenage years, I have been coaching young handball players and organizing sports camps and other similar events. At the preschool, I focus on English language activities with the children, helping them experience foreign languages as something natural from an early age. Mutual trust and authenticity are essential to me when working with children. I felt a strong connection to the principles of Montessori education during my studies at the Faculty of Education, and I am happy to be a part of it here at our preschool.
In my free time, I still actively play Czech handball, and I love traveling and cultural experiences, especially going to the theater and the cinema.
I work as the Operations Coordinator at our preschool, where I help ensure that each day runs smoothly. I prepare healthy snacks for the children, organise lunches, and support the daily operations of the preschool. Whenever needed, I also assist our teachers so that the children can enjoy a happy, calm, and well-organised day.
In everything I do, I strive to create a warm, caring, and respectful environment. I believe that even the smallest gestures—a friendly smile or a helping hand—can make a real difference and help make our preschool a place where both children and adults feel welcome and happy.
I truly value a respectful approach to working with children and love watching their curiosity, creativity, and excitement as they discover the world around them. Working with children is incredibly rewarding, and I continue to learn and grow professionally so I can support them in the best way possible.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, caring for my plants, and cooking for family and friends.
