The Playful Soul of Childhood

Grow with love, think with courage, play with soul.

Alma Ludico means playful soul. It is a space that brings together mind, emotions and movement, from the first tentative steps to the first steps into school.

Lessons for Kids

from 4 months to 7 years

A Slovak original concept developed from our experience in cooperation with a team of experts in child development and health.

Mind

We develop thinking, speech and concentration. The child discovers the world through questions, exploration and play.

Emotions

A respectful approach and a safe environment in a small group. We support the child's self-confidence and the bond between parent and child.

Movement

Fine and gross motor skills following our original methodology, developed in consultation with a physiotherapist. Movement is the foundation of healthy development.

Years of practice behind the program

Professional background

Founder Klára Kulichová has more than 13 years of experience working with children and thousands of lessons taught. She developed the methodology directly in practice and consulted on it with a certified physiotherapist and a speech therapist.

Thanks to this, every part of the lesson has its purpose — from selecting cognitive tasks through table work to building the movement course that develops balance and coordination.
