The Principal

Welcome!

My name is Agnieszka Janaszek and I have the pleasure to be the Principal of ‘Mali Odkrywcy/Little Discoverers' Bilingual Kindergarten.

I belong to those lucky people whose work is a constant source of their pleasure and happiness, and as a Chinese proverb says ‘if one loves their work, they don't work even one day in their life'. The years I have spent working in kindergarten taught me how big joy, pleasure and satisfaction can be derived from being in contact with children.

I am a university graduate of Akademia Podlaska in the field of Pedagogy (a 5-year-masters degree program with the additional specialization in culture related education) and The Maria Grzegorzewska Academy of Special Education, Warsaw in Speech Articulation Therapy (a 2-year-program). I am also educated in early mathematics and in ‘glottodidactics', which is an original Polish method of teaching reading and writing. I strongly believe that these two methods of working with children bear great results in the subsequent school achievement.

I am also a graduate of the Warsaw University Course in Education Politics and Management (a 2-year-program), and Kardynał Wyszyński University Studies in Kindergarten Pedagogy with the focus on the Early Diagnosis of Problems in Child Development (a 2-year-program).

In my private life, I am Mother to Wiktoria, who was our happy kindergartener in the first ‘Promyczki/Sun rays' group, and now is a second grade student in primary school.
