Big Start from Small: How a Private Kindergarten Opens the Door to Future Success

Many parents believe that real learning begins at school. However, numerous studies, including those by the Harvard Center on the Developing Child, show that the period from 2 to 6 years is critical for the development of the brain, skills, and personality. It is during this time that fundamental structures are laid:

• speech,
• self-regulation,
• logical thinking,
• social skills.

And if these processes take place in a supportive, resourceful environment, a child enters school age with an advantage that is difficult to make up for later.

Private kindergarten: not only about comfort, but also about quality

When it comes to a private kindergarten, the first thing that comes to mind is comfort, new toys, and small groups. But the real advantage is the quality of the educational approach and the level of individual development that is often impossible to achieve in overloaded public institutions.

This is what private preschool education at My Horizons provides:

1. Small space pedagogy — the educator knows each child, his or her learning style, characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.
2. Educational methods of the new generation — Shichida, Zaitsev, TRVZ, Lego construction.
3. Mentoring and support — a child has not only a teacher, but a real mentor.
4. Built-in soft skills — creativity, teamwork, emotional intelligence.

This is especially important for children from socially vulnerable families who critically lack personalized attention and resources at home.

Social aspect: a chance for those who need support

At the My Horizons kindergarten, we do not only develop children — we open doors for those who least expect to see them open. Special programs for children from displaced families allow them to

• get access to full-fledged preschool education;
• study in a comfortable environment with their peers;
• receive support not only from the child, but also from their parents;
• develop an awareness of their own value from an early age.

We provide a UAH 1000 discount for IDP families to help them find a new home, new opportunities, and trust in the world.

How private education affects the future

Early childhood education is not just about preparing for school; it is a long-term investment in a child’s quality of life. According to the US National Institute for Early Childhood Development (NICHD), children who have had access to quality preschool or primary education:

• are 2-3 times more likely to enter universities,
• demonstrate higher financial literacy and ability to manage resources,
• less prone to deviant behavior in adolescence,
• have better self-control, leadership, and critical thinking skills.

But it is not only when a child learns that matters, but also where and how. At the private kindergarten “My Horizons”, the educational environment is built on trust and support, where the child:

• feels safe, which reduces stress and anxiety,
• feels his/her own significance — his/her opinion is heard, his/her needs are taken into account,
• has access to modern educational tools — interactive, project-based learning, creative tasks,
• every day they see an example of care, respect, and healthy interaction that builds their emotional intelligence.

Our goal is not just to teach. We want to open the door to a decent future for those who need support today.

We invite families who are looking for new opportunities for their child to come and see us. Do you want to know more? Contact us: +38 (096) 531 65 61.
