About the kindergarten

Bilingual Kindergarten Motylek 2, Warsaw Ochota

Motylek 2 Bilingual Kindergarten is an intimate, non-public preschool in Warsaw's Ochota district. It's a place where children feel confident and at ease, and their day is filled with play, conversation and activities that support emotional, social and intellectual development. Foreign languages are an important part of everyday life with us - the preschool resounds with songs in English and Spanish, and classes are naturally intertwined with elements of multilingualism. The smell of warm, locally prepared afternoon tea is in the air, making it always homey and cozy with us.

Our mission is to support children in their development so that they can act independently, confidently, and with a readiness to take on new challenges in the future. We foster close relationships—children can turn to their teachers whenever they need support, and parents are welcome and have ongoing insight into their children’s development.

The preschool has been operating since 2006 under registration number 159/PN/06 in the registry of non-public institutions of the Capital City of Warsaw. The institution is supervised by the Board of Education and the Education Department of the Ochota District. The director of the preschool is Magdalena Gzocha, and the assistant director is Ilona Błach.

Soft preschool start for the youngest

The orientation sessions at Motylek 2 Bilingual Preschool are designed to gently and gradually introduce our youngest children to the world of preschool. We invite toddlers along with their parents or guardians so they can get used to the new environment, daily schedule, peers, and teachers at their own pace. During the sessions, children participate in a variety of activities—they play, paint, draw, sculpt, sing, and listen to stories. Parents are welcome to stay throughout the entire adaptation period—it gives children a sense of security, helps build trust, and makes it easier to form relationships with their new caregivers. Over time, the little ones become increasingly comfortable staying in the classroom on their own, which allows them to transition smoothly and stress-free into this new stage of life.

Motylek 2 – a private preschool in Warsaw

Motylek 2 Bilingual Preschool is a unique place where we combine attentive care with a rich educational program and daily, natural exposure to a foreign language. We focus on an individualized approach, small groups, and a family-like atmosphere where every child is noticed and truly valued.

Bilingualism is a part of the children’s daily lives—whether they’re playing, participating in educational activities, eating meals, or engaging in free play. This allows our students to become familiar with a foreign language in a natural and unforced way, in line with their developmental abilities.

Our students explore the world at their own pace, develop their talents, and build healthy self-esteem. We teach cooperation, independence, and the courage to take on new challenges—so that the next stages of education are a natural continuation of the child’s development, rather than a source of stress.

Motylek 2 is a private preschool in Warsaw’s Ochota district that combines an intimate atmosphere, support from top-notch educators, and an exceptionally engaging range of extracurricular activities. We believe that every child is unique—each has their own passions, interests, and abilities, but also their own challenges. We strive to be a place where every child can feel safe and develop at their own pace, with respect for their individuality.

There are places that little ones want to come back to every day—even on weekends. Places where they feel safe and at ease. We strive to ensure that our preschool is not just a childcare facility where little ones spend a few hours a day. It is a space where our children develop their creativity, learn respect, empathy, and independence. They explore the world, build relationships with their peers, and discover their first passions. That is why the atmosphere is so important—one filled with attentiveness, support, and understanding of their individuality.

Preschool with English and Spanish in Warsaw

At our preschool, we believe that learning foreign languages is much more than just another activity on the daily schedule. It is an integral part of a child’s development that opens their eyes to the beauty and diversity of the world from a very young age. In an age when we have unlimited opportunities to travel, and even the most distant countries are no longer a mystery to us, this proves to be incredibly valuable.

Motylek 2 is a place where learning foreign languages is a regular part of daily life. English is part of the children’s lives every day—from their very first moments at preschool. We introduce it naturally through play, songs, and creative games. Starting at age four, we expand the program to include Spanish, which is taught twice a week in the form of engaging, age-appropriate classes.
