I hold a Master’s degree in English Philology, specializing in teaching and translation. Additionally, I completed postgraduate studies in Early Childhood and Primary Education at the University of Wrocław. My teaching journey began in language schools before transitioning to an international kindergarten, where I further developed my experience.
I am committed to lifelong learning and continuously expand my knowledge by attending various training sessions and conferences, particularly in the areas of preschool pedagogy, positive discipline, and music education.
In Harmony Preschool was established out of my deep love for children, passion for language, education, and music. My vision was to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and happy—one that fosters respect, acceptance, and a sense of belonging. My work is driven by a genuine love for children and a strong belief in their potential. I am constantly inspired by their sensitivity, curiosity, and eagerness to explore the unknown. Witnessing their developmental progress, emotional growth, and increasing confidence brings me great joy. Together with my dedicated team, I strive to unlock each child's potential and provide an environment that supports their holistic and balanced development.
Beyond my professional life, I am a proud mother of two wonderful bilingual children, thanks to their English-language education. Working with children has always been my passion, and founding In Harmony Preschool has been the realization of a lifelong dream!
Magda
I hold master’s degrees in Polish Philology (teaching specialization), Preschool and Early Childhood Education, and Cultural Studies. I have also completed the British OCR Level 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools course, as well as Health and Social Care training. My professional experience and qualifications are complemented by numerous courses, training sessions, and workshops related to early childhood education, child development, and supporting children and young people with special educational needs.
For over ten years, I worked as a Deputy Manager and Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) at Nomansland Preschool, located in the beautiful New Forest region. In this role, I was responsible for organizing daily activities, ensuring children’s safety, and working closely with parents in accordance with EYFS standards and Ofsted guidelines.
My experience also includes working as a Polish language teacher in a primary school, a childcare provider, and supporting individuals with disabilities and mental health challenges in a local care home. Since 2020, I have been part of the In Harmony Preschool team — a place that has strengthened my belief in the importance of creating a safe, warm, and inspiring environment for young children. It is exactly the kind of place I would wholeheartedly choose for my own child.
I believe that every child is unique, develops at their own pace, and has an individual way of discovering the world. The role of a teacher is to create a space filled with respect, care, and support, where children can discover their talents and build self-confidence. Working with children is my true passion — every day I strive to help young learners develop values, empathy, and an understanding that they are part of a diverse and multicultural world.
Wiktoria
I bring warmth, kindness, and calm, positive energy into everything I do. Working with young children feels completely natural to me I have a gentle intuition that helps me sense their moods, needs, and little shifts in energy. This allows me to create a supportive, peaceful environment where each child can grow at their own pace and feel truly seen.
After living in London for 15 years, where I studied and gained valuable experience in multicultural settings, I returned to Poland with a deep appreciation for diversity, openness, and different ways children learn. I continued my educational journey at the wonderful InHarmonyPreschool, where I have proudly been part of the team since 2021. This is where I discovered how fulfilling it is to guide children through their earliest years with patience, presence, and genuine understanding.
Nature is a big part of who I am, long walks, fresh air, and noticing small details help me stay inspired and grounded. I also love sports and movement, which naturally carry into my work with children through active, joyful play. Travel has shaped my outlook as well, teaching me curiosity, flexibility, and an appreciation for the world's beauty qualities I pass on to the children in playful, simple ways.
I approach every child individually, respecting their personality, emotions, and unique rhythm of development. My goal is to surround them with warmth, good energy, and a sense of safety so they can blossom into confident, happy little humans.
Oliwia
My name is Oliwia. I am a student of Pedagogical Therapy. I spent the last seven years in England, working as an educator at the Polish Saturday School in York and conducting artistic and creative workshops for children of various ages.
While creating lesson plans, I always ensured a diverse selection of teaching methods, striving to tailor the lesson flow to each student's abilities. I incorporated visualizations, introduced movement-based activities, and applied interactive methods, which helped maintain children's concentration and engagement, even among those with a lower level of language proficiency.
Teaching in a multicultural environment significantly influenced my interest in bilingualism. This interest led me to deepen my knowledge through specialized literature and conduct research for my thesis in this field.
I also hold a certification in Hand Therapy (Level I and II) and Social Skills Training.
It has always been important to me to work in a place that respects the feelings and needs of the youngest. I believe that every child has a unique perspective on the world, which deserves to be heard and understood. That is why I am extremely happy to have joined the team at In Harmony Preschool, where these values are respected daily.
After years spent abroad, I have come to appreciate even more the moments shared with my family. I usually dedicate my free time to spending time with loved ones. I also enjoy a good book and long walks with my husband.
Dena
I am happy to be part of In Harmony Preschool. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience to see these bright young minds grow and thrive. Each child brings their own special energy, and I am constantly inspired by their curiosity and enthusiasm.
With a strong foundation in Psychology, I have dedicated my career to supporting children's development. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and have completed extensive training in areas such as Autism, psychological assessment, sensory integration, and play therapy. My journey began by working with children on the autism spectrum, where I gained invaluable experience in understanding and supporting their unique developmental needs. Later, I worked in a kindergarten, where I continued to expand my knowledge of early childhood development. I am proud to now be a part of In Harmony Preschool, where I contribute to creating a nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive.
Angel
I'm Angelica, originally from Brazil. Since 2018, I have been dedicated to teaching English, a passion that aligns perfectly with my background in Journalism and Social Communication, complemented by a degree in Language Assessment English. My experience has primarily focused on working with children and teenagers, a role that brings me immense joy and drives my commitment to education.
Fluent in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and currently learning Polish, I embrace the beauty of languages and their power to connect us. I am convinced that every child is special and unique, with their own personality, interests, and learning style. It is our duty as educators to recognize and appreciate these differences, creating an environment that nurtures their development and helps them reach their full potential for future success.
In my free time, I enjoy baking, singing, listening to music, and watching movies. These hobbies not only relax me but also inspire creativity and joy, which I bring into my teaching methods.
My passion for working with children goes beyond teaching; it involves nurturing universal values and helping them realize that they are part of a diverse, interconnected world. Seeing children develop their language skills and grow into curiosity is the most rewarding aspect of my work. I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue my passion for education and look forward to continuing to inspire and be inspired by my students every day.
Mariola
I completed my Master's degree in horticulture at the University of Life Sciences in Wroclaw, while simultaneously pursuing studies in early childhood and preschool pedagogy in the same city. By combining these two areas of knowledge, I aimed to create educational and developmental projects for young children that would broaden their understanding of the natural world.
My journey in education and working with younger generations started in my teenage years as a scout leader, and later, I gained further experience as a nanny and camp educator. I hope to channel my diverse experiences into the activities of In Harmony Preschool, bringing energy and enthusiasm.
Driven by a personal interest in self-development, I believe that emotions and the awareness of their impact on our bodies and daily lives are central to how we function in society. Teaching this knowledge from an early age is essential for proper child development.
I am an open-minded, warm, and cheerful person, always receptive to others and their viewpoints. I enjoy exploring various activities like dancing, drawing, singing, traveling, and savoring a good cup of coffee.
Paulina
Graduate of SWPS University in Wrocław, with a degree in Psychology, specializing in Clinical Psychology.
After completing my studies, I deepened my knowledge during a one-year program in Child and Adolescent Therapy at the DCP Center in Wrocław. This training introduced me to various therapeutic approaches, helping me solidify my understanding and shape my professional interests.
One particularly influential course in my daily practice has been Attachment Parenting for Professionals, led by Agnieszka Stein. It has greatly enriched my perspective on working with families.
I also trained in Self-Regulation for Professionals with Dr. Jagoda Sikora, learning how to support families through the lens of self-regulation theory. Additionally, I completed the Kids’ Skills training, a strengths-based approach that focuses on children’s abilities rather than deficits.
For over ten years, I have worked with children and adolescents, supporting them through everyday challenges in preschool and school settings as a psychologist. My approach is well represented by the symbolism of an Indian mandala:
"A mandala is a harmonious combination of a circle and a square. The circle represents the sky, the external world, and infinity, while the square symbolizes the inner world, humanity, and the earth."
In supporting children’s balanced development, I believe it’s essential to consider their environment—the family context, daily activities, and even the food that nourishes and sustains them. A child cannot be seen in isolation from the world they live in.
In my work, I value a holistic perspective and hold a strong belief that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. My key areas of focus include psychoeducation for children and parents, psychological support for children (in areas such as social skills development, self-regulation, and school-related difficulties), as well as parental consultations.
Another area close to my heart is perinatal support. I truly believe that a support network—a "village"—can be built in many ways, and I often see how much women need to feel seen and supported in their motherhood journey.
Vanshika
I am a medical student and a part-time assistant preschool teacher who enjoys working with young children. I like helping create a warm and friendly environment where kids feel comfortable to play, learn, and grow.
Kleopatra
I come from Greece and have been in Poland for a while now. I love spending time with children and I am very excited to be part of In Harmony Preschool. I am kind, positive and warm person.
Yuly
My name is Yusleidys, but everyone calls me Yuly or Yulia. I come from a stunning island in the Republic of Cuba, where the warm and inviting spirit of the Caribbean Sea flows through my veins. This has shaped me into a loving, cheerful, and enthusiastic person—highly responsible and always full of energy to create and explore the best ways to connect with children, the precious treasures who brighten our lives and shape our future.
I hold a degree in education as an art instructor specializing in theater, with over 11 years of experience in the field. I speak Spanish and English and am eager to learn Polish with a positive attitude. After five years in this beautiful country, I can already understand some aspects of the language.
Art, in all its forms, will be my primary tool to impart knowledge, foster education, provide recreation, and offer care and love to children—embracing them as part of a big family that holds a special place in my heart.
Karin
My name is Karin, and I graduated with a degree in English Philology from Odesa Mechnikov National University. I have been passionate about the English language since my early teenage years, and over time it has become very close to me—sometimes even more so than my native language.
I have experience working as an English teacher in various schools and language courses, as well as working as a nanny. Working with children brings me immense joy. I love supporting them as they discover the world, helping them grow, and encouraging them to develop their individual potential. I truly believe that every child is unique, full of curiosity, talents, and endless possibilities.
I am very happy to be part of the In Harmony Preschool and its international, English-speaking community. I am grateful for the opportunity to support children in learning English and to help create a safe, inspiring, and nurturing environment where they can learn and play.
Sindie
My name is Sindie, and I am originally from South Africa. I have been living in Poland for the past 12 years, and during this time I have had the privilege of working with children of different ages. Working with children has always been my passion, and I feel incredibly grateful to be part of their learning and development journey.
I am fascinated by the way children grow, discover the world around them, and develop their unique personalities. Watching a child gain confidence, learn a new skill, or achieve a personal milestone is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. I believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
In my classroom, I strive to create a warm, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable exploring, asking questions, and expressing themselves. I enjoy supporting children's social, emotional, and academic development while helping them build a lifelong love of learning.
I am also a mother of two wonderful children, which has deepened my understanding of the importance of creating a caring and supportive environment for young learners. Both as a parent and a teacher, I appreciate how important it is for children to feel happy, confident, and excited to learn each day.
I am thrilled to be part of the In Harmony Preschool family.
Oliwia
My name is Oliwia, and I graduated from the University of Wrocław with a degree in Preschool and Early Childhood Education.
I gained my experience working with children at a Children's Club, where I supported teachers in the daily care of children and in conducting educational activities. I have also completed training in Positive Discipline, the principles of which are very close to my heart. I am also guided by the values of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
Creating an atmosphere of safety, acceptance, and mutual respect is especially important to me - one in which every child feels noticed, appreciated, and heard.
I am passionate about art, especially art education, which was the focus of my master's thesis. As part of my research, I conducted art workshops for children, which strengthened my belief in the important role that creative freedom plays in children's development. I believe that every child has a natural need to create and enormous creative potential. They simply need a safe and open space in which they can develop it.
Ola
From a young age, I accompanied my mother—who holds a Master’s degree in Pedagogy, has 20 years of experience, and is a certified sensory integration therapist—to her work, assisting her during dog therapy sessions, including those with children facing health challenges.
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a painter or a singer. However, as I grew older, I realized that working with children is much more than just a profession—it means becoming part of their unique world. Every child inspires me; their way of thinking fascinates me, and every smile gives me strength. This is how I came to truly love this work.
I currently work at Karolina’s Academy, where I provide substitute teaching and lead weekly music classes with guitar. Soon, I will begin my psychology studies at the University of Wrocław, fulfilling one of my long-held dreams.
My greatest passion is music, along with all forms of art. I consider myself an empathetic, open-minded, cheerful, and kind person, with a deep sensitivity to creativity and artistic expression.
It is a great honor for me to be part of In Harmony Preschool and to grow alongside such passionate and experienced professionals.
Edyta
I am a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) and a Polish philologist with an academic background in linguistics, language development, and communication. I completed my doctoral studies at the Faculty of Polish Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, followed by postgraduate training in Speech and Language Therapy at Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University.
Since 2016, I have been supporting children, young people, and adults in developing their communication and language skills. My professional experience includes working in nurseries and preschools, teaching Polish at primary and secondary schools, and lecturing students in the humanities at university level.
Alongside my clinical work, I deliver workshops for parents, caregivers, and early years professionals, helping them understand how to encourage children's speech, language, and communication through everyday interactions and play.
I am also the creator of Pocket Speech Therapist, a blog where I share practical ideas for play-based language intervention. My approach combines evidence-informed practice with creativity, using multisensory activities and handmade resources designed to inspire meaningful communication and joyful learning.
I provide assessment and therapy for children with:
speech sound disorders (articulation difficulties),
delayed speech and language development,
autism spectrum-related communication differences,
feeding and eating difficulties, including food neophobia and selective eating.
My therapeutic approach
Every child is unique, and so is every therapy programme. Following an initial consultation and comprehensive assessment, I develop an individualised intervention plan tailored to each child's strengths, needs, and developmental goals.
My work draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including:
play-based learning,
Sherborne Developmental Movement,
the Verbo-Tonal Method and speech rhythm therapy,
sensorimotor therapy,
hand therapy,
myofunctional therapy and orofacial massage,
the Krakow Method,
the Good Start Method,
feeding therapy,
drama and theatre techniques,
storytelling, music, and relaxation-based interventions.
I believe that the most effective therapy happens when children feel safe, engaged, and motivated to explore the world through play. Close collaboration with parents, caregivers, teachers, and other professionals is an essential part of my work, ensuring that every child receives consistent support across all areas of daily life.
My practice is guided by the philosophy of "Mindful Play"—a belief that purposeful, child-centred play provides the strongest foundation for communication, language development, and meaningful relationships.
Marcelina
I am a graduate of the University of Wrocław, where I completed a Master's degree in Preschool and Early Childhood Education. During my studies, I gained experience through placements in preschools and primary schools. I also worked in a preschool and taught English to students in Grades 1--8, which gave me the opportunity to work with children of different ages and better understand their individual needs and interests. In my work with children, I place particular importance on positive relationships, a sense of security and mutual respect. I believe that every child is unique, develops at their own pace and needs an environment where they can feel comfortable, valued and accepted. I aim to support children in developing independence and confidence in their own abilities. I believe that children learn best through play, hands-on experiences and active exploration. I enjoy using creative activities that encourage imagination, curiosity and a natural desire to discover the world, while making learning an enjoyable experience. Working with children is a great source of satisfaction and inspiration for me. I believe that a teacher's role is not only to share knowledge, but also to support children in their development, accompany them as they explore the world and help them build confidence and a positive sense of self-worth.
