Ми принципово шукали садочок по системi Монтессорi. Умамi мав гарнi вiдгуки + єдиний садок, який брав дiтей з двох рокiв. Дитина стала жвавiше, цiленаправлена. Навчилась базової дисциплiни (роздягатись, горшок, мити руки). Стала бiльш зосереджена. Навчилась базовому рiвню англ. мови. Багато знань, як на її вiк, українською. Стала бiльш соцiолiзованою. Умамi вiдрiзняється вiд iнших садочкiв - пiдходом до дитини. Дитина водночас i в центрi уваги, але це не навколо егоїзму. Ну, i любов, яку даруєте дiтям.

Обрали Умамi через гарнi рекомендації, пiдхiд з Монтессорi, маленьку кiлькiсть дiтей у групi (було важливо для 1,5 рiчного малюка), локацiю. Євген став самостiйнiшим i набув багато нових i корисних навичок (сам їсть, краще засинає, i великий ще плюс садочок допомагає з горшиком).

Фантастичний заклад для дітей.Такого рівня уваги до дитини й батьків я ніколи не зустрічала. У мене 4 дітей, і тому мені є з чим порівнювати!

Син почав відвідувати заклад у 1,5 роки. Через місяць з ініціативи самих вихователів дитину привчили до туалету й ми відмовились від підгузка.

Щодня я отримую від вихователів фотозвіт і додатково до цього письмовий звіт про день: чого вчили дітей, які інтереси проявляв син і чому встиг навчитись.

Наразі моєму синові 2 роки. Він почав активно розмовляти, використовуючи слова як з української мови (ми україномовна родина), так і з англійської, може самостійно вдягнути кофту та штани. Він також самостійно їсть і прибирає за потреби після себе.

І харчування в садочку чудове💚 Чесно кажучи, іноді заздрю сину😊

We choose Umami for several reasons. It is bilingual, which was important to us so our son would learn some Ukrainian. The facilities are extremely nice, modern, and safe. And of course, the teachers are warm, friendly and caring!
The school has definitely helped us with our transition to Ukraine and given our son a good environment to learn in while adapting to a new culture.
Umami has one of the nicest facilities of any pre-school we visited. From the new montessori toys, to the lunch/dining room, it is very well equipped. In addition, safety measures are in place, which provides peace of mind. It's welcoming and environmentally friendly. Peaceful and calm entrance and lots of light throughout.

Umami was the right fit for our little boy. We feel he benefits from a Montessori approach, the small class sizes, kind and attentive staff and gentle approach to settling, outdoor and active spaces. Kindergarten allows some time for me during my pregnancy and now with a new born. Providing our kid with more independence and enrichment.
Umami have your own outdoor spaces, smaller class sizes means more attention to individual children, good quality equipment.

We selected the kindergarten, like all parents, very carefully. Our first attempt to adapt to another Montessori kindergarten at the age of 2.7 was unsuccessful, and we were worried about adapting to UMAMI.

What happiness and relief we experienced when we heard from my daughter: "I want to go to kindergarten". For us, UMAMI is an ideal garden: an important factor, in addition to the excellent Montessori system, the bilingual environment, high quality baby food, beautiful interior and wonderful children's areas for outdoor games, secured territory, gentle adaptation of the child in the garden at a comfortable pace for him, was how teachers see, hear and feel each child, build respectful, trusting, comfortable relationships - this played a decisive role for us when making a decision.

I think we are lucky with this kindergarten, and I am glad that the child has the opportunity to develop harmoniously. I am warm and grateful to the incredible people who create such a cool children's space.

Лично мне очень важно, что садик современный во всех отношениях, сразу обратили внимание на то, что садик работает по системе Монтессори и важный пункт, что садик билингвальный, так как папа канадец и бабушка/дедушка по папиной линии не говорят на русском.
Садик помог решить проблему с нехваткой времени мамы для работы и себя
Умами отличается своей уютностью и камерностью, чувствуется, что это особенное место, а не конвейер.

Every parent faces a difficult choice of a kindergarten, because starting from a very young age, the child's character and his attitude to life and others are formed.

At this moment, everyone wants to do the right thing so that the child develops, learns, becomes a leader, but at the same time receives joy from childhood.

Umami is just such a kindergarten where children get excellent knowledge from science to learning languages while playing.

Our son started going here at the age of one and a half, and by three we are already seeing positive changes in the behavior and development of the baby.
Teachers take a very responsible approach to the implementation of the scientific plan of education, at the same time, there is an individual approach to each kid, which helps to develop the best qualities of the child.
