Our story

A story of determination, education and a mother's love.

Told by Natália Rusnačková, founder

Every big project has its beginning. Ours didn't start at a desk, but at home, with my two amazing children. They were my greatest teachers and showed me a path that completely captivated me and drew me into the fascinating world of children. It was thanks to them that Linden Kids came to life — a private kindergarten in Brno on Křenová street, where we combine a respectful, Montessori-inspired approach with experience working with talented children.

Chapter one

Discovering the world of childhood and uniqueness

When my first daughter was born, I was looking for a way to understand her better and grow closer to her. Discovering Montessori education was a pivotal moment for me — it showed me how to look at the world through a child's eyes and with deep respect.

With my second child, I was captivated by the theory of psychological types, which helped me understand that every child is born with a unique personality.

Chapter two

When motherhood becomes a profession

I am someone who refuses to stand still and loves to keep moving forward. So, alongside my second child, I began distance studies in preschool and extracurricular education. From the very start I turned theory into practice in inspiring environments:

1

A world of global standards

I began working in one of the best Montessori kindergartens in Brno, right in the English-speaking classroom.

2

A school of endless patience

In the Montessori nursery I learned how profound and important the youngest children's journey to true independence is, through the elements of practical life.

3

Bringing it all together

I put my knowledge to use in a Montessori classroom for children aged 3 to 6, where I worked comprehensively on every aspect of preschool development and a respectful approach.

4

Educational diagnostics and nurturing talent

I pursued counselling, educational diagnostics and focused work with gifted children, which let me understand the specific needs of children's talent far more deeply.

Moving in nature and the fresh air is still my greatest personal way to unwind — and an essential element I want to give the children at Linden Kids too.

My greatest pride and proof in practice

I invested all my knowledge, my respectful approach and systematic preparation into my own children. My greatest personal and professional pride is that I managed to prepare them successfully for one of the most prestigious primary schools in Brno.

That was the moment the circle closed. I realised that all these gathered experiences, the nights spent over books and the years of practice in elite institutions were not something I wanted to keep just for myself. I wanted to pour them into a project of my own — a place that would carry deep meaning and help other families.

Our goal

The result I live and breathe for

Linden Kids was not founded as an ordinary institution. It was born as a safe harbour for children's healthy growth. My goal is for children to leave us:

Independent and stable

Ready to confidently handle the move to quality primary schools.

Curious and brave

With a love of movement, nature and natural, everyday English.

Seen as individuals

In a place where we know their strengths and talents.

I believe we can achieve all of this only if we are on the same wavelength as you — the parents. Partnership with the family and open, direct communication are absolutely fundamental to me. After all, we share a common goal: a happy child who explores the world with a smile and with courage.

Come and join us.
