Kollárova Kindergarten in Český Brod

The original school garden underwent a "recycling" transformation with our support. Our goal was to create a pleasant new space in the most environmentally friendly way possible. The garden now brings smiles to children's faces almost every day.

About the Transformation

What we achieved

We created many diverse nooks for children to engage in various activities. We sensitively and thoughtfully reused materials from the original garden. Our work not only achieved excellent results, but also employed an economical approach that saved money and was environmentally friendly. The transformation also changed the teachers' work, allowing them to give children more space for free play.

The garden is a great laboratory of life, where children discover everything on their own. When we offer them basic stimuli: tastes, scents, water in various forms, they can explore life and become explorers.

More about the transformation

The transformation united the entire local community: teachers, children, parents, and city representatives all got involved. In addition to over a hundred kindergarten children, the garden is occasionally visited by students from the local art school, scouts, and members of the parents' club who organize events for the broader public. Children spend most of their time in the garden, enjoying imaginative play elements in all weather conditions. Popular features include a straw house, a willow maze, and a sound tunnel in tree trunks. Children love climbing the monkey trail, caring for herbs, and delighting in the fruit harvest.
