Kindergarten and nursery

Meerim Z.

After a failed search for a suitable kindergarten for their daughter, Meerim and her husband decided to open one themselves that met all their requirements. The couple have been running an international kindergarten since 2017. It is run bilingually (English/Russian) and accepts children aged between one and a half and seven years. As the business is still very young and Meerim wants to position herself better with her offer in the future, she has decided to join the BPN program.

Project description

The educational institution offers a favorable environment for the children's development. The aim is to encourage the children in all their talents and strengthen their weaknesses and prepare them for school accordingly. This means that the children have creative classes, group and individual lessons with a speech therapist, choreography and early music education, sports, four meals a day and a transportation service. Meerim even offers a weekend childcare service. This is extremely helpful for parents who also work at weekends and is much appreciated.

The kindergarten and after-school care center employs ten staff and looks after 37 children. In four years' time, Meerim would like to offer further bilingual classes in addition to English/Russian: in particular Russian/Korean. The 35-year-old also plans to offer other subjects such as chess and mental arithmetic in preparation for school.

Meerim finds the BPN seminars she has attended so far very helpful. We see her as a determined person who knows what she wants. On a business level, however, she and her husband still have too little knowledge in the areas of marketing and employee management. In our seminars, she therefore wants to learn how to design advertising better and professionalize the business.
