Frequently Asked Questions:
What if my child doesn’t like it?
We offer a free first visit. You’ll be able to see right away how your child feels about the experience.
Can I terminate the contract early?
You can terminate the contract at any time with a 30-day notice.
What if I hire a nanny?
Based on the experience of our clients, nannies are usually much more expensive than daycare. Additionally, a nanny can not prepare your child for school or teach to interact with other children in different situations.
What if I prefer a larger/smaller preschool?
Both of our “Nuances” locations are spacious, but the number of children in each class is limited. This ensures your child won’t be lost in the crowd and will receive individual attention from the teacher. For the 1-2 year-old class, we have 4 spots, and for the 2.5-5 year-old classes, there are 6-8 children per class.
What is your teaching methodology?
The teaching and development method at “Nuances” was created by our director, Marina Graetzer, considering modern pedagogical trends. It combines the best elements of the Montessori method, TRIZ, integrated lessons, and the development of independence and self-confidence.
