Before admission to the przedszkole they talk to you about your child: what to say in Polish
Before admission the nursery talks to you about your child.
💡
How it's done. In the talk before admission tell them about your child's habits: what it likes, what it eats, the language at home, any allergies; do not be shy that your child does not know Polish yet.Prepared by the Movko team, November 2026. This is language help, not legal or medical advice: check the rules with the office itself.
