HEAD OF THE KINDERGARTEN/COORINATOR OF THE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Dear parents,

welcome to the Piccole Pesti team page. I´ve built Piccole Pesti with my husband Marco in 2010 as a first czech italian kindergarten and nursery to give a support and education to bilingual families living in Prague.

My work is my passion and I give 100% every single day. 

I´m czech italian and I´ve always seen it as a gift because it gave me the opportunity to learn more languages in a simplier way (eglish, french and russian) and work with more mentalities and points of view.

I´ve studied Pedagogy and Psychology at the Charles University, I have a first aid State Certificate, I have a Yoga for children Certificate and a Professsional Nanny State Certificate.

My two daughters have always been my great inspiration.

I hope to continue to guide all Piccole Pesti children through their childhood as long as possible, because this is my mission

Sincerly,

Veronika

 

Tereza Švihovcová

PREPARATORY CZECH TEACHER/PRESCHOOL CLASS HEAD TEACHER

Dear parents,

my name is Tereza and this year I’m going to work as a preschool and preparatory czech teacher. All these children I already know from last years, so it is a pleasure for me to follow them into their next steps in growing.

Working with the children is not like a job for me. It’s a passion and something that comes naturally and I appreciate the constantly learning  from kids.

I’m a mom of two (6, 9y.o.) and I believe that being a mom inspired me to have a very close relationship to children in kindergarten using my maternal approach.

I completed two pedagogical courses, nanny course and teaching assistent course. I continue to study myself in this field and getting better in my profession.

I like sports, animals, nature and positive people.  With children I like to discover the world around us.I am looking forward to seeing all parents and kids, the new and the old one J, and for the moments we will spend together!

Tereza ♡

Annie De Rose

ENGLISH TEACHER

Dear Parents, 
 
My name is Annie DeRose, and I am thrilled to begin this new school year with your children. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of this wonderful community. 
 
I earned my bachelor's degree in Social Work in 2015, where I focused on supporting children and families. After working as a social worker in California, I moved to Prague in 2016 to complete my TEFL certificate and begin teaching English. Since then, I've had the opportunity of working in several preschools, learning from inspiring colleagues, and gaining experience with children from many different cultures and backgrounds. 
 
In my teaching, I often draw on Montessori principles, which I've been trained in by experienced educators. I believe children thrive when they are given the space to explore, discover, and learn through play. My role is to guide them with kindness, patience, and encouragement as they grow in both confidence and independence. 
 
I'm truly looking forward to getting to know your family and working together to make this school year full of learning, laughter, discovery, and fun! 
 
Annie

Dott. Eleonora Ranalli

MIDDLE CLASS HEAD ITALIAN TEACHER/NURSERY ITALIAN TEACHER

Dear parents,

 

my name is Eleonora, born and raised in Rome, Italy, where I also took my master's degree.

At the beginning of 2022, I have had the privilege to join Piccole Pesti as an assistant teacher, where I could bring my love for young kids to the table. Nurturing them as well as seeing them grow and learn makes me feel a deep sense of purpose.

Thanks to Piccole Pesti , I am having a chance to focus on children's development and accompanied them in the first years of their life.

 

During the school year, the children will be immersed in a rich linguistic environment where I model best language practices and encourage the children to communicate. They will gain a better understanding of their self and will build self-confidence through positive interaction with others.

 

 I look forward to meeting your children and spend a great time together throughout the school year!

 
Eleonora

Sofia Lovreglio

MIDDLE CLASS CZECH TEACHER

Dear parents,

 
My name is Sofia and I'm the daughter of the directors/creators of Piccole Pesti. I was born in Rome and in raised in Prague, I´m bilingual.
 
I'm a student and I speak three languages, two of them which are Czech and Italian I speak at a native speaker level and I study English at a B2 level at school. 
 
Since Piccole Pesti was created, as a young girl I used to be there all the time and as I grew older I realised that I wanted to spend more time there and be part of the team myself and join to work with kids. I would usually help my parents out but I wanted to be a teacher myself and come to teach regularly and have a class of my own. In October I start a new jurney in Charles University, School management.
 
I am a creative person myself and I would like to join the team and work with kids and be part of Piccole Pesti.

Anna Watzková

PREPARATORY CLASS TEACHER

Dear Parents,

 
My name is Anna Watzková and this will be my second year working at Piccole Pesti School. I am currently studying Pedagogy at the University of South Bohemia, where I am in my 3rd year focusing on primary education.
 
This school year I will be teaching the Preparatory class. I am also offering extra Czech lessons for foreign pupils who would like to improve their language skills.
 
I studied at a Czech-Italian high school in Prague, and I can communicate in Czech, Italian, and English. Thanks to my younger siblings, I had many opportunities to get experience with children from an early age. I also spend my summers attending children’s camps and training programs, which allows me to learn even more about working with kids.
 
In my free time I enjoy sports, culture, and animals. I also sing in a professional choir, and I would like to share my positive attitude to music with the children.
 
Looking forward to a great year,
Anna
