We’re excited to welcome the first children to Kaštánkov Early Childhood Center, newly established at Charles University. We officially open on January 5, 2026, offering a warm and nurturing space for children aged 1 to 6 years.
Kaštánkov was created to support parents and caregivers working at Charles University — helping them balance work and family life with confidence. In a friendly environment and with a personalized approach, our experienced team will care for each child with kindness and professionalism.
Curious to see more? No need to wait until January! Join us for our Open House Days on December 1–2, 2025. Come with your children or on your own, explore the space, and ask anything you’d like to know.
Enrollment opens on November 18, 2025 — full details will be available on our website.
The pricing will be added soon. The center's operation will be supported by a government subsidy, and the monthly fee for children under the age of 3 is regulated by a government decree.

At Celetná 20, enter through the main gate and pass the security reception into the first courtyard. From there, take the first possible right turn and walk through the arcade. By the chestnut tree, go down two steps – you will see the windows of the centre straight ahead. The entrance door will be on your right-hand side.
