Over time, we’ve clearly seen that the bilingual system works.
Children get used to English quite quickly. First they listen. Then they start to understand. And after a while, they begin to speak, naturally, in simple everyday situations.
🧑🏫 All our teachers are native speakers and regularly update their qualifications for working with young children.
🇬🇧 Starting English early really helps. In class, children practise reading, listening and simple grammar. But that’s not the most important part.
The key is that English is part of the day. In games, in conversations, in small moments. Children are not pushed to speak. They speak when they feel ready. And because of that, they are not afraid.
🎓 Over time, we see real progress. Our children go on to pass entrance exams to good schools in Moscow and the region. If needed, we also offer individual lessons.
In the end, it’s simple. Children feel comfortable, they improve, and parents can see it.
At Malka Children’s Centre, we make sure the day feels right for the children. We mix active and calm activities, give time to rest, and leave space for free play. What matters to us is not only what a child learns, but how they feel while learning.
📍Our programme follows the child’s age and pace:
🔸 Early Years (1.5–2.5 years) This is a gentle start. Children slowly get used to activities and being around others.
A parent or familiar adult stays with the child during the session.
🎈We focus on: - Speech through music, simple theatre and English. - Movement: fine motor skills, basic gymnastics. - Sensory play: colours, shapes, textures, simple crafts.
🔸 Toddlers (from 2 years) A step towards independence. The first “I can do it myself”.
🎈In class: - First steps in reading: letters, sounds, simple syllables - Basic maths: counting, shapes, comparing - Creative work, music, movement
🔸 Full-Day Group (3–7 years) At this stage, children are ready for more structured learning, but we keep it light and engaging.
- English with a native speaker - School preparation - Creative workshops - Mini football and dance - Celebrations and family evenings
Malka Children’s Centre wishes you a happy Passover.
🫓 Passover is one of those evenings where children naturally take centre stage. The Seder begins with the Four Questions, asked by the youngest at the table. From that point, the story begins.
Children see things simply. They ask direct questions, sometimes unexpected ones. And that’s what changes the atmosphere. The evening feels more real.
That’s how the connection between generations happens. Not through long explanations, but through these small moments.
🙏 We hope you spend this time with people who matter to you and a home that feels warm and full.
Art lessons at Malka feel like a small journey each time.
This week we looked at Ivan Aivazovsky and his painting Ship in the Stormy Sea (1887). The children then created their own sea scenes. Each one turned out different. Each one tells its own little story. Later, these drawings become something they remember.
Here are a few things we talked about during the class : 🎨 Aivazovsky often painted from memory, not by copying what he saw. 🎨 The light in his work took years to master. 🎨 The scene shows the moment after a storm, when the sea begins to settle. 🎨 The light on the horizon suggests calm after difficulty. 🎨 The real focus is not the ship, but the sea and its mood.
💬 We’d love to hear from you. If your child has a favourite painting or artist, share it in the comments.
