Trilingual Nursery and International Preschool in Cracow
Naturally Trilingual
Nursery is the best time to learn foreign languages. Until the age of three we are talking about early bilingualism or trilingualism.
The child learns the language in a natural way as a mother tongue if “immersed”, “surrounded” by the language, and associating one person with the language.
This is how children learn in our nursery. Children can continue to learn languages in the international kindergarten ITSC.

The International Trilingual Curriculum
In the nursery and pre-school we implement our school curriculum. It offers much more than a traditional bilingual nursery or preschool. The curriculum enables our students from nursery through the entire primary school to continue their education according to the standards of six educational programs:
- American Common Core,
- British National Curriculum (EYFS-Early Years Foundation Stage),
- Finnish National Curriculum
- Programme d’Enseignement de l’Ecole Maternelle,
- National Curriculum – Polish national Curriculum,
- PYP – Primary Years Programme.
Each of the above programs has strengths and weaknesses. Comparing the standards of 6 curricula allowed us to determine the highest educational standards for each subject and for a given age group. We follow these standards.
The curriculum and topics are common to the three languages taught.
Trilingual Nursery and Preschool at ITSC
At the trilingual ITSC Nursery and Kindergarten, we aim to provide children with a solid educational foundation, making it easier for them to learn languages: English, French and Polish.
We believe that learning a foreign language alongside a native speaker broadens horizons and helps children quickly and stress-free adapt to an international environment. Our curriculum has been designed to support each child’s individual development, with a focus on learning through joyful play. The children are cared for by experienced teachers who work to ensure that every child feels safe in the group, and that each day is an unforgettable and enriching adventure.

Our curriculum and additional activities not only enhance the language skills of our students but, most importantly, help children navigate challenges and thrive in peer groups. This is a holistic approach. Learning foreign languages goes hand in hand with social adaptation, emotional and physical development, discovering passions, and learning in a natural, stress-free way. Bilingualism, a strong command of English and French, and an openness to the world—these are the guiding principles behind our everyday work.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with our educational and upbringing program, where trilingualism is an example of a new and innovative approach to foreign language teaching. Our language nursery and private kindergarten provide young learners with a solid foundation, preparing them well for further education in primary school and language courses.
