Karolina looked after both of my children, first out first one who was quite an anxious child, but settled right in.
Two years later when we needed care for our second child, it was an obvious choice, we just came back to Karolina. And we were very pleased again!
They loved spending time with Karolina, her own children and their little friends - until now both of our children have very fond memories of their time spent there.
Karolina has a very rich curriculum for children to learn everyday, offers lovely home cooked meals and plenty of beautiful outings for children to learn and explore. Homely atmosphere created by her is much appreciated by all of the children who feel safe and very at home with Karolina.
