Educational center for children

During the coronavirus pandemic in spring 2020, she began giving free English lessons in the courtyard of her home. When schools and kindergartens were allowed to reopen, she stopped offering this service. However, the children's parents then asked her to continue learning with their children. This gave rise to the idea of opening a center for school preparation and English lessons. Maria converted a garage in a courtyard between many apartment buildings. Around 20 children (aged 3 to 14) currently attend her lessons there. In February 2021, she was also able to open her first branch in the village, where one employee works with seven children. The range of services has already been expanded to include a crèche and school preparation courses.

Mariia would like to open another kindergarten in the village in 2022. The biggest challenge for her at the moment is advertising. At the moment, she mainly relies on word-of-mouth advertising and runs an Instagram channel. Mariia is particularly interested in individual coaching and business fundamentals at BPN. In order to continue running her educational center for children successfully, she would like to close these gaps in the BPN seminars and professionalize the business.
