Zarema I

The 43-year-old entrepreneur from Bishkek brings many years of experience as an English teacher to the table, combining pedagogical expertise with a clear social mission. Her decision to become self-employed stemmed from the observation that children from disadvantaged families in Zarema’s neighborhood were growing up without reliable care or targeted support. Driven by the desire to create a safe and stimulating environment for these children, she initially started a small childcare group in her own home—a program that is now in high demand and operates at full capacity.

The company operates in the field of early childhood education and offers much more than just childcare. Its offerings include meals as well as a holistic enrichment program featuring sensory games, music, creative activities, sports, and language development. A particularly defining feature is the early and daily exposure to English, which builds on Zarema’s professional experience and gives the program a distinct profile. A newly created music room expands the possibilities for instruction, physical activity, and group events.

Project description

Zarema places great importance on fostering a warm, respectful atmosphere and upholding values that are evident in the daily lives of children, parents, and staff. Growth potential stems from the rising demand for high-quality early childhood education, transparent pricing, and the planned expansion to include additional groups, including a Montessori program. In the future, additional space, a second location, and—in the long term—even a continuous educational pathway through elementary school are conceivable.

At the same time, it is important to prepare professionally for the next phase of development: with sound financial planning, a clear separation of revenue streams, and greater delegation of day-to-day operations. With BPN’s support, Zarema can specifically strengthen its management skills, streamline processes, and manage its expansion responsibly.
