Teacher Dominika

Working with children has been one of my dream jobs since childhood. As time passed, the list of dream jobs was becoming shorter and shorter. I realized that being a fairy, an environmentalist, or a detective wouldn’t be the right choice, and so it was decided. I wanted to be a preschool teacher. I stood by it and tried to reach for it all the years until I left the University of Ostrava holding my diploma and smiling from ear to ear. After that, it was only enough to find a nursery I would like, and hurray to work. When I came across the webpage of our nursery and then saw it with my own eyes, it was decided. The nursery has become a place for me where I look forward to being every day, where there’s nature, animals, and a garden within arm’s reach; and my job content is to return to the good old days of childhood, and get to know, observe, explore, learn, smile, feel, experience together with children; and last but not least, rejoice in their happiness with them.

Then, at one moment, you realize that you actually spend your time barefoot in the grass, being in a beautiful environment and enjoying a nice atmosphere. You play, sing, and draw, and you are paid for it as well.  

You realize you have kiddies around you, who can boost your energy and help you see “a boa constrictor digesting an elephant, instead of a hat”. And what else can you give them in return for it than repeat and enable them to fulfill the words by A. de Saint-Exupéry: “Try your best to be happy …”
