Kindergarten and nursery

Margarita B.

Margarita had the idea of setting up a kindergarten in 2013, and then everything happened very quickly. She rented a building and hired five people. At the same time, she started to build her own building for the educational institution. After three years, Margarita and her team were able to move into the new premises. The entrepreneur employs 31 people. The team looks after around 90 children. Her daughter Sholpan is the Executive Director of the company. In recent years, Margarita has noticed that competition has increased massively. She therefore decided to train herself and her daughter in business management. Margarita came to us on the recommendation of a friend.

Project description

The kindergarten and after-school care center offers daycare, preparation for school, individual development lessons, speech therapy and chess. With the increasing competition, Margarita looked for other ways to set herself apart and shortly afterwards started a small pottery workshop. The lessons and the work with clay to relax and encourage creativity were so popular that parents and other adults now also wanted to take part. Margarita is therefore planning to open a pottery school in the future. The plan is to produce flower pots, souvenirs, tableware and decorative ceramics. Margarita would also like to offer vocational training in this area and eventually offer pottery workshops.

Margarita and her daughter are very interested in our basic business management training and have already attended several seminars since starting their BPN training. Margarita is very future-oriented, which is why it is important to her that her daughter, as her successor, also continues her education. Mother and daughter want to run their business professionally and skillfully build up the additional line of business. We wish them both every success.
