Adam Pavol
Class teacher of the OLDER class
Adam is a class teacher of older children in our kindergarten. The role of a teacher in kindergarten appealed to him when he attended the Secondary Vocational School of Education in Levoča. Besides teaching, he is devoted to creating various educational materials and books for children aged 3 to 6, focusing on their development in various areas such as language, mathematics, and others. Adam actively sings, specializing in opera singing, musical singing, and singing of artificial songs.
"I've always wanted to work with children and prepare them for the next stage in their lives. When children first enter kindergarten, where they meet other children, form friendships not only with children but also with adults. I wanted to be there and walk with the children on their shared journey to a better world," - Adam
