I studied to be a nutrition assistant. I worked with children during my internships and had a lot of fun with them. I am currently studying preschool and extracurricular pedagogy because my dream have always been to work in a kindergarten and now I have the opportunity to fulfil it. What I love about children is their honesty, originality and individuality. My hobbies include traveling, dancing, spending time with family and friends.

I was born in Georgia, USA, where I lived until the age of ten. I then moved to the Czech Republic, where I attended grammar school in Frýdek-Místek and later earned my degree in Special Education from the University of Ostrava.

Working with children has always come naturally to me. I am inspired by their honesty, imagination, spontaneity, and joy in life’s little moments. I believe that early childhood is a crucial stage in shaping the foundation for the rest of one’s life — and I am grateful to be a part of it.

In my free time, I enjoy dancing, traveling, and spending time with my family and loved ones, who are a great source of support. Many of my ideas and inspiration come from these special moments.

I have always had a big dream to become a kindergarten teacher. For that reason I decided to study preschool and extracurricular pedagogy at the Pedagogical Secondary School. It makes me happy to stand behind the children's success and I like to pass on everything I can to them and at the same time I enjoy learning from them. They have completely different thoughts and ideas and so many times you are surprised by how they think about the world. Working with children is more of a hobby, I feel good with them. My other hobbies include dancing, gymnastics and volleyball.

Currently I am finishing my PhD in English literature at Masaryk University, Brno. My research interests are diverse and include folk literature, comparative literature, cultural studies, gender studies, psychoanalytical studies, ethnomusicology and children's literature.
I have a passion for exploring new places, expressing my creativity through painting, immersing myself in a good book, crafting unique creations, and most importantly, engaging with children as both a teacher and a learner.
For over a decade now, I have been working as an English teacher and have developed a deep passion for teaching children. It gives me immense joy to see them learn and grow in their language skills.
I am proud to be a part of the PONNY team for the past four years. Being a member of this team or better say, family has been an enriching experience for me both personally and professionally.

While studying English at the Faculty of Education at Masaryk University, I started working as the main leader and creator of the program at children's camps where I fell in love with working with children. What fulfils me the most about this job is that I can impart knowledge and skills to children, lead them to gain experience, prepare them for life and develop their interest in the world. Children have the greatest potential to change our future, which is why it is important to me to positively influence their growth and education. My interests include creation of all kinds, in addition to traditional drawing and painting, I also like to work digitally, sew my own clothes, and I also enjoy knitting and crocheting.

„Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.“

Pavla Bartová

I studied at the Secondary Pedagogical School in Kroměříž, focusing on Preschool and Extracurricular Pedagogy. During my studies, I had the chance to gain experience in different types of schools – regular, special, and even alternative ones – which taught me a lot about working with children.
Music has always been close to my heart. As a member of the Girls’ Choir, I was lucky to take part in several international competitions. Today, I enjoy sharing my love for music with children – whether by singing together or playing the piano, flute, or guitar.
I also love drawing, painting, and crocheting, and I often bring these hobbies into the classroom to inspire children’s creativity. I once worked as an instructor at a children’s summer English camp, which gave me great experience combining fun and learning in English.
For me, working with children is truly fulfilling. What I enjoy most is seeing their eyes light up when they discover something new, learn a new skill, and at the same time have lots of fun together.

Sophie Klepáčová

I am originally from the UK. After gaining my degree in Human Genetics I moved to the Czech Republic and worked in St. Anne’s hospital, before becoming a proud mum of three. During my time on maternity leave, I discovered how deeply fulfilling it is to work with children and became fascinated by how early education shapes their development. The way we nurture children will shape our future, and I’m passionate about helping them grow into healthy, curious, and confident individuals.
I love being part of their journey—watching their progress, listening to their questions, and supporting their natural desire to explore the world. I especially enjoy reading with the children and creating activities that support their growth in fun and meaningful ways. I’m also keen to continue learning more about child development and psychology.
Outside of the classroom I enjoy spending time with family, travelling, climbing, cycling, and reading.

Motto: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
