OUR EXPERTISE AND QUALIFICATIONS
Education with a Clear Direction
PONNY KIDS is a kindergarten with a clear educational vision and strong long-term professional foundations. We work according to our own School Educational Program, which fully complies with the Framework Educational Programme for Preschool Education of the Ministry of Education and at the same time reflects current knowledge about child brain development, learning processes, and preparation for the future world.
Our goal is not only to prepare children for school, but to equip them with skills, thinking, and character for life.
GUARANTOR OF THE EDUCATIONAL CONCEPT
The guarantor of the PONNY KIDS educational system is Mgr. Martina Drtílková, MBA, the kindergarten director and author of the Future Habits Kindergarten concept.
She draws her professional expertise from:
- studies at Masaryk University in Brno
- teaching practice at primary school level
- long-term specialization in English language education
- more than twenty years of experience in preschool education
Martina Drtílková has long focused on healthy child development in the preschool years, particularly on the prevention of specific learning difficulties and the development of thinking, attention, and emotional stability. She is a qualified specialist in neuro-developmental stimulation, focusing on the diagnosis and inhibition of primary reflexes that have a significant impact on a child’s school readiness.
EXPERTISE TRANSFORMED INTO PRACTICE
Martina Drtílková has developed her professional knowledge and experience into her own educational system for children aged 2–6 years. This system now forms the foundation of the modern approach at PONNY KIDS and is naturally integrated into children’s everyday lives.
Education at PONNY KIDS is built on:
- active movement (gymnastics, tennis, swimming)
- development of logical and critical thinking
- work with symbols, maps, projects, and problem-solving tasks
- language development, comprehension, and expression
- daily preschool preparation that respects child development
We do not teach children mechanically.
We teach them to think, understand connections, and navigate the world.
A QUALIFIED AND CONTINUOUSLY DEVELOPING TEAM
Children at PONNY KIDS are cared for by a team of qualified educators with professional training in preschool pedagogy and school readiness. All teachers are guided by a unified educational philosophy and regularly continue their professional development in modern preschool education, child development, and working with heterogeneous groups of children.
The team works with children consciously, sensitively, and with respect for each child’s individual pace.
LONG-TERM EXPERIENCE AND A STRONG SUPPORT SYSTEM
PONNY KIDS has been preparing children for entry into primary school since 2001. We cooperate with selected primary schools in Brno, listen to children, observe their needs, and respond to changes in the world around us – which is why the PONNY KIDS approach is individual and truly dynamic.
At PONNY KIDS, we combine:
- professional education
- many years of experience
- modern knowledge of child development
- a clear vision of the future
Because education with a clear direction is never created by chance.
A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR
“I have loved books and mathematics all my life – they teach me how to think, seek connections, and understand the world in depth. I also believe that clear rules and rituals do not take freedom away from children; they give them a sense of security and safety. It is precisely in such an environment that children can grow, explore, make mistakes, and gradually become independent personalities.”
Martina Drtílková
Director of PONNY KIDS
