About LAB Learning and Being

“LAB Learning and Being” is a bilingual (English & Polish) daycare and micro-school located in Mokotów, dedicated to children aged 3-11. LAB provides a learning space where children can LEARN and BE themselves – education in small groups, in a warm, home-like atmosphere. What is important in LAB – parents are in close relationships with teachers, have constant contact, and participate in the life of the micro-school. The LAB team invites parents to contact them directly as they are providing individual solutions for each family.

LAB also offers afternoon extra-curricular activities and classes open to children aged 2-10 (from other schools and homeschooled children).

“Observing how differently each child develops and grows and at the same time seeing a lack of individual approach in mainstream educational facilities, we decided to search for a better solution. We managed to bring together many professionals specialising in child development and some amazing artists, musicians, travellers – all: passionate individuals.

Believing that “it takes a village to raise a child” we decided to create our own “village” and we invite YOU to join. We are looking forward to meeting people who, just like us, believe in homeschooling but also wish to socialise. All classes will be held in a beautiful pre-war villa in the heart of Old Mokotów.”

LAB’s private garden:

“LAB Learning and Being is a space created to support individual, very personalised learning. Taken from the best traditions of private tutoring, which used to be accessible only to the most wealthy, and in opposition to group learning, we provide care for families who, just like us, understand the balance between personalised learning and development, but also wish to provide a social experience for their children.“

Curriculum and mission:

LAB is created with an understanding of the changes in the modern world. They provide care with flexibility combining both the well-known and developed Montessori Method and their own Modern Curriculum. It is a second home where children can discover the world, but also be themselves.
Children learn in mixed-age groups, having an opportunity to support, model and teach each other.
Children’s needs are addressed with great respect and LAB’s teachers see the children holistically, caring both for their academic skills as well as psychological and physical development. LAB provides Social Skill Training for children as one of the scheduled classes.
LAB’s students develop their interests and passions through various activities and encounter with different enthusiasts.
Students spend as much time as possible surrounded by nature – through attending Forest School and all year-round care for the garden.
A very hands-on learning approach, focusing greatly on practical life skills. LAB teaches geography through cooking, mathematical skills (measuring, geometry) through woodwork projects, biology preferably takes place in the garden and language skills are practiced through written and spoken communication with others.
A rich arts program to encourage the art to be a natural form of self-expression for children. LAB puts great emphasis on Music specifically.
LAB ensures balanced physical development through gymnastics, various sports and classes focusing on Sensorial Integration.
LAB constantly cooperates with a child psychologist, pedagogue, SI coach, and speech therapist.
