A-Z International Centre for Children

Spring has officially arrived, and we couldn’t be happier! 🌱🥰
The sun is shining brighter each day, the air feels fresh, and we are truly enjoying spending more time outside with the children. We had our International Weeks in full swing here in the kindergarten! 🌍 Together, we were “traveling around the world” without even leaving our classroom. ✈️ With the wonderful support of our children and their families, we have discovered different countries through colorful posters, yummy traditional foods, clothing, music, and customs. 🎎💃 It was amazing to see how curious and open the children were as they learned about cultures from all over the world 🤩. Just before we headed off to our well deserved spring break, we also had a joyful Easter celebration. 🐰The children had a fantastic time during our egg hunt, searching with excitement and big smiles. And of course, we embraced the Hungarian tradition of sprinkling, which brought a lot of laughter and cheerful moments. These days are bursting with sunshine, giggles, and little adventures. From curious questions to joyful laughter, every moment is filled with warmth—and we feel so lucky to be making these happy memories together 💛

Golden October adventures and Halloween celebrations 🍂👻
With the autumn sun smiling down on us all month long, we set out to explore, discover, and celebrate the beauty of the season together!
While one of our kindergarten groups went for outdoor hike at Normafa, another one visited the Museum of Fine Arts — little boots running through leaves, little hands collecting treasures of nature. Next, we journeyed into the city for a day full of discovery! The children were amazed during our museum visit, where they could see art and history from the middle century. Afterwards, our city walk turned into a joyful exploration — spotting buses, cafés, and street musicians made the day feel like a real urban adventure. 🏙️
As October rolled on, excitement grew for our Halloween celebration! 🦇 🎃 Costumes, crafts, pumpkin carving and trick or treating made our centre loud. We shared yummy home made pumpkin biscuits and ghost bananas, than of course - visited the witches room 🪄✨
Now, refreshed and recharged after a lovely autumn break, WE ARE BACK! 😍— ready for new learning, thanksgiving period, and all the cozy moments that november will bring. 🧡

Last month was a busy busy time in the Centre, as always❣️ Despite the unusually cold and wet weather May brought upon us, we really felt the urge to sing summer songs, be outside and prepare for Parents Appreciation Days.💐 Lots of art and craft was made in secret, morning rehersals took place and excitement grew, but it was all so worthy! Eyes were not left dry, big cuddles were all returned and everyone was left with a heart full of love. 🥰 We are deeply grateful for all the parents and guardians who joined us for these beautiful celebrations. This time of the year reminded us that behind every confident child is a caring parent cheering them on❣️
In the coming weeks the celebrations will take a slight turn, and we will cheer for the children during their end of year parties! 🎉🎈

🌷🐣 Spring is here at A-Z! 🐰🌼
In the past weeks, our children celebrated the joy of Easter and the magic of spring in such a fun way — through hands-on learning, exploring, and lots of cuddles (with baby animals, of course!).
From egg hunts to funfairs, our spring activities brought excitement and lots of fun moments to every classroom of the Centre. Children explored the colors and symbols of the season, crafted adorable spring decorations, and even practiced in Easter egg painting. 🐣📚
But the highlight of the week? The Petting Zoo Day! 🐐🐑🐇
We welcomed some very special furry (and feathered!) friends to the Kindergarten, and the children got the chance to meet with baby goats, pigs, bunnies, ponies, chicks and even a donkey! The joy on their faces as they stroked soft fur, fed curious animals, and asked thoughtful questions about them made everyone's day special.
These kinds of experiences bring our educational approach to life and nurture a deep connection with nature and empathy for all living things🌱💚

As we welcome the new season, we’re embracing all that spring represents — growth, renewal, and fresh discoveries. Here's to many more fun moments ahead!

Happy Spring from all of us at A-Z International Centre!🌼💫

A day of shapes and colours –
Our visit to the Vasarely Museum!🟡🔵🟠
The rabbit group had a truly amazing day at Vasarely Museum. Their wonderful guide led them through the gallery, introducing them to Victor Vasarely’s incredible works. She shared fascinating stories about his art, showing the children how simple shapes and colors can come together to create something truly spectacular. The kids were captivated, pointing out hidden forms and patterns, and eagerly sharing what they saw in each piece! 🎨
To top off this inspiring visit, the children took part in a collage activity, where they put their own creativity to work—just like Vasarely himself! With colorful cutouts, glue, and lots of imagination, they crafted their very own optical art masterpieces.
What we like about outings that is not only engaging children, but teaching their social emotional skills, cognitive&physical development and support their educational path.
Outing is FUN! 🧡
Thank you Vasarely Múzeum Budapest for having us! ⭐
