I'm American, husband is Dutch. We have 2 preschool age children. We would like our kids to have formal education which optimizes their multi-national background. We currently live over 2 hours from Prague and have become quite unhappy with our son's preschool in the village. (There are 3 teachers for 25 kids and they put them in front of the TV regularly!!!)

We are planning a move to Prague as soon as possible. We want to find the best possible school first, and then find housing.

It doesn't seem we can afford to send our 2 preschoolers to any of the great private schools in town. Has anyone had any luck with creative solutions to high tuition?

Does anyone have their non-Czech kids in Czech public schools? Does anyone here who can afford private schools choose public? Are there any alternative public schools? What are your experiences? Which ones to avoid/reccommend?

Thanks!

Most Czech preschools let the kids watch the 'Kouzelna Skolka' programme on TV at 8:30. The thing to look at is the groups or classes that they offer. My daughter takes recorder (flute) lessons and is in the performing arts group at her nursery school. She really enjoys it. She also goes two evenings a week to an exercise group at a local sports club. One the other hand, I do not send her for English lessons as most schools have 'Czenglish' textbooks and pronunciation problems. We did not choose English schools as they are expensive and if you listen the kids/teachers speak Czech on the playgrounds anyway.
Best of luck!
