Nursery schools in Slovakia

The preschool education system in Slovakia is actively developing. Private nurseries are more common, and their costs are higher in larger cities. Additional activities and clubs can significantly affect the price. Public nurseries are much fewer in number; they are free, but meals must be paid for.

It is best to start looking for a nursery in advance to secure a spot at your preferred location. When choosing, consider the geographic location, reputation, cost, and language environment. Many nursery websites provide detailed information about programs, prices, and contact details. You can contact the selected institution, clarify any questions, and schedule a visit.
 

To enroll in a nursery, you need to provide the child's birth certificate, a medical certificate, and a document confirming payment. After this, a contract can be signed. Be prepared for the fact that your child may need time to adapt to the new environment. Regularly communicate with caregivers to stay informed about your child's development.
 

Estimated costs for private nurseries by region:

• Bratislava: €450–600

• Košice, Prešov: €350–500

• Other major cities: €300–450

• Small towns and villages: €250–350
