CAMBRIDGE CHILDREN COURSES OF SLOVAK
Nursery (3-5 years)
in Arbury Community Centre
Are you looking for a warm, meaningful, and high-quality environment where your child can naturally connect with the Slovak language? Our Slovak Nursery “Lienky” is designed for children aged 3 to 6, offering a joyful introduction to Slovak through play, music, stories, movement, and creative activities. Sessions take place every second Saturday in a safe, nurturing, and encouraging setting that respects early childhood development and supports children’s natural curiosity and love of learning.
How Our Slovak Nursery Works
👧🏻 One stable group of children
The group is limited to a maximum of 15 children, allowing us to build a close-knit community, a sense of security, and plenty of individual attention.
🗣️ Communicative and play-based approach (pre-A1 to A1 CEFR)
The programme focuses primarily on listening and speaking skills, fully adapted to young learners. It is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) at pre-A1 to A1 levels.
📚 Thoughtfully designed and trusted materials
We use our own age-appropriate teaching materials, visuals, songs, and movement-based activities, complemented by methodologies and inspiration from accredited Slovak language course books, especially Aha, slovenčina, widely recognised in Slovak language education for children and non-native speakers.
🎯 Individual engagement for every child
Children are not tested or assessed formally. Teachers observe progress sensitively and involve each child according to their individual pace, confidence, and needs.
What Children Learn in the Nursery
Lessons are built around practical, age-appropriate themes introduced through games, songs, stories, movement, and creative play. Key thematic areas include:
👋 Greetings, simple phrases, and basic communication
👨👩👧 Family and people around us
🎒 Nursery routines, instructions, and daily activities
🏠 Home, toys, and familiar surroundings
🕒 Daily routines, days, and seasons
🍎 Food and drinks
🧸 Play, hobbies, and free time
🧍♂️ Body, movement, and healthy habits
🌍 Nature, animals, and the world around us
🇸🇰 Slovak traditions, celebrations, songs, and fairy tales
👉 Alongside spoken language development, children naturally build early pre-reading and pre-writing skills in a gentle, pressure-free way.
