About us
We created ARTY out of a personal idea — to build a place where children feel at home, discover the world with curiosity and grow up without losing the freedom to be themselves. And where parents feel that behind every smile, every small victory and every new day there is a team they can rely on.
Over time, this idea grew into a community of children, families and educators who share the same view of childhood — a time when every child needs patience, respect and attention.
Today ARTY is run by a close-knit, highly experienced team that continues to follow this idea. We believe that steadiness, consistency and a personal approach make all the difference.
Created by parents. Built on experience and professionalism. Guided by love and care.
A day at ARTY
Care
Read moreIn ARTY we create an environment where every child feels calm, safe and accepted. Every day we combine care, attention and support with a balanced routine of nutritious meals, educational activities, free play, time outdoors, an afternoon rest and extra activities. We respect each child’s individual needs, encourage independence and build healthy habits. With a daily health check and the care of our nurse, we pay close attention to the health and wellbeing of every child.
Learning
Read moreLicensed under License No. RD14-70/29.09.2015, we follow a programme aligned with the national educational standards and each child’s own pace of development. Through Bulgarian language and literature, mathematics, the world around us, construction and technology, art, music and physical education, we build knowledge and skills that support the children’s personal development and a smooth transition to school. English is part of our curriculum and is taught by age level using the Jolly Phonics system. We follow each child’s progress and keep in touch with parents through individual feedback.
Play
Read moreWe believe play is the natural path to knowledge, communication and independence. That is why the children’s day combines free play, interest-based activities and outdoor games. Through them, children develop their imagination and motor skills and learn to communicate, share, wait their turn and resolve conflicts. We help them build friendships, recognise their own feelings and respect the feelings of others.
Creativity and the arts
Read moreAt ARTY we encourage every child’s curiosity, imagination and free self-expression. Through drawing, collage, modelling, construction, music and applied arts, children experiment with different materials and techniques, develop fine motor skills and discover their own abilities.
We organise themed days, creative workshops, open lessons, celebrations and stage performances that give children the chance to present their ideas and achievements, develop their artistic side and grow in confidence.
Extra activities
Read moreExtra activities enrich our educational programme and let children develop their interests and talents. Through language, movement, art, creative and discovery activities, we encourage curiosity, independence, confidence and communication skills. When needed, we can arrange speech therapy as well as consultations and one-to-one work with a psychologist. All activities are tailored to the children’s age, interests and needs.
