A Complete Programme from Age 1 to High School
We are excited to announce the opening of our Nursery in September 2026, located at Rakovniška ulica 5. Our Nursery is designed for the youngest children to feel safe, loved, and confident as they take their first steps into a learning community. With the opening of the Nursery, our school will offer a complete programme from age 1 all the way through the end of high school—allowing children to grow within one supportive community for their entire school journey.
Who is the Nursery for?
Our Nursery welcomes children aged 1–3 years. We focus on early development through play, relationships, and routine—supporting every child at their own pace.
Opening hours and calendar:
Monday–Friday: 7:30–16:00. Open from the first day of school until the end of August (Closed during school holidays).
Our Approach
At this age, children learn best through warm relationships, a calm environment, and meaningful everyday experiences. Our educators guide children gently through the day, encouraging:
-
Emotional Security & Confidence
Ensuring every child feels safe, understood, and supported in their new environment.
-
Early Language Development
Fostering communication skills through songs, stories, and engaging daily talk.
-
Social Skills
Learning to interact through sharing, turn-taking, empathy, and building early friendships.
-
Growing Independence
Encouraging self-help skills, choosing activities, and getting comfortable with daily routines.
-
Movement & Sensory Play
Developing fine and gross motor skills through exploration and making outdoor time a natural part of the daily rhythm.

There is nothing like seeing and experiencing our school in person. Arrange a meeting with our Director and take a tour of our Campus.
If you are unsure whether LIS is the right fit for your child, we encourage you to let your child join our classes for a day or two and experience firsthand what we offer.
