We believe that the first years of a child's life are extremely important. That is why we work in small groups and create a calm environment where children feel at home. We welcome, care, guide, love and support. Every day is filled with a variety of activities, free play outdoors, music, creativity and lots of love.
In the mornings the children work on fine motor skills and have sensory and Montessori activities, story reading, conversations, role play, music lessons, creative work with natural materials and, of course, free play. Free and guided play develops curiosity, language and social skills.
Songs, rhythm and movement every day – for joy and for developing listening skills and coordination. Twice a week we have lessons with a music teacher and a piano. We also have children's yoga, folk dancing and lots of active games.
Finger painting, modelling with clay and plasticine, working with yarn and natural materials, cooking classes, and sensory and Montessori activities suited to the youngest children.
Walks and outdoor games in all weather
First words and songs in English, introduced in a natural and fun way.
A varied and balanced menu, suited to the age and needs of every child.
A predictable daily rhythm gives children security and calm.

Щастливи сме да обявим, че от 9.11.2026 всяка седмица мъниците от яслената група както и големите деца ще имат веднъж в седмицата ателие с акустична китара. Дамата , която ще ни гостува е педагог с фокус върху ранното детско развитие чрез музика. Заниманието превръща музиката на живо в интерактивно преживяване, което подкрепя чувството за ритъм, двигателната координация, речевото развитие и емоционалното общуване. Програмата включва: * кратка приказа, съчетана с детски песни, изпълнени на живо; * запознаване със звука и вибрациите на китарата; * безопасен досег до инструмента под надзор; * адаптиране на темпото спрямо вниманието и настроението на групата.

The first childcare setting our child attended. Settling in was remarkably quick, effective and easy for our little one. In a very short time, she picked up skills and habits she didn't have before. The only reason we no longer take our child there is that we moved to another neighbourhood and it's too far for us. Highly recommended!
We are extremely happy with Rucheyche! ❤️ The team is attentive, both to the children and to the parents. Thanks to everyone, we felt at ease from the very first days, and most importantly for us, our child goes there gladly and is happy. The environment is cosy, and the activities are varied and interesting. Thank you to the whole team for the care, the attitude and the peace of mind you give parents. We recommend it!
Wonderful in every way! Our son settled in within the very first week, and at weekends he asks whether he is going to kindergarten – for us, that says it all. We noticed a huge change in him: he started talking remarkably quickly after joining, learned to eat better on his own, and wants to dress himself, put on his shoes and so on. Dancing, fun, outdoor games, feedback and photos every day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your care, your effort and your love for the children! ❤️
The most, most, most wonderful place for little ones!!!🥰🥰 All the teachers approach the children with enormous love and attention, the activities are varied, and the children are happy and calm!🌈💛 I recommend it with two, three, fifty hands!😁🔝 …
We are extremely happy with our choice of the Rucheyche house! Our child settled in surprisingly quickly and goes every day with a smile and eagerness. She is calm and cheerful and tells us how much she enjoys it – for us, that is the most important proof that we are in the right place. The team is incredible – professionals with big hearts, who clearly love their work and the children. The atmosphere is warm, attentive and caring. Something new and interesting happens every day – games, activities, celebrations... You can feel how much thought and love goes into everything. Special thanks to Tsveti – a person with a big heart and real understanding. She always responds when we have questions or need help. Her approach is calm, human and professional, which inspires trust and a sense of security. I wholeheartedly recommend Rucheyche to every parent looking for a place where their child will be loved, encouraged and happy.
At the Rucheyche House there is calm, joy and love, for the children and for the parents alike! The facilities are great, the teachers are wonderful and always welcome and see off the children with a smile and with love! My child leaves every day healthy, happy and calm, having learned and done something new, thanks to the creative and dedicated teachers! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Every parent strives to give their child the best. And when you were raised by a teacher yourself and are blessed with a curious, sensitive and emotional child, choosing their first school becomes even harder. Then fate brings you to Tsveti and her team, and everything flows smoothly, calmly and inspiringly, like a little stream. Thank you, dear ladies, for every day in which you give our children your warmth, love, care and knowledge!
We are endlessly happy that our child is lucky enough to attend the Rucheyche children's house. The children enjoy attention, care, calm and understanding from the teachers. I am amazed at how much energy and creativity the whole staff put into coming up with the most interesting and worthwhile activities. I am very glad that the children spend a lot of time outdoors when the weather allows. Keep it up!
A fairy-tale place for children, built on a foundation of knowledge, love, dedication and attention. Every day the teachers prepare varied activities with great care, which are not only fun for the children but also extremely beneficial for their physical, emotional and social development. An individual approach to each child that makes settling in easy and smooth. Daily feedback. The children are always clean, fed, changed and, above all, very, very happy! I am so glad that my child ended up in this wonderful place. Words are not enough to express my gratitude for the care, patience and love you give us! I recommend it wholeheartedly!
A wonderful team of professionals! Care, love and attention for the children! Our child goes there gladly and has lots of fun. In three months there has been great progress in development. Every day they create amazing things and come up with new activities and games for the children. Thank you to the team for the care, the wonderful attitude and the daily feedback!
The best kindergarten, with the kindest, most caring and dedicated teachers, who treat the children with such love. My child went there with the greatest pleasure. He was calm and always smiling. Thanks to the teachers, my son relaxed and started talking. Thank you! You are amazing and we miss you very much 🥰
The Rucheyche House is a fairy-tale place that makes our children feel fulfilled and loved, and us parents feel at ease. We get timely feedback, and communication is open and easy. The amazing, creative team helps our children grow, putting a lot of love and enthusiasm into it. Wonderful people and true professionals!
Living in the neighbourhood, we were looking around for a place for our child in the area. We came across the Rucheyche children's house and followed their Facebook page. We fell in love with the place even before our little one was born. We knew this would be our kindergarten and couldn't wait for her to arrive and grow up so we could enrol her. Enrolment went very smoothly and we are happy she was accepted. So many activities, games and fun that she never stops being happy, and every day she brings home wonderful creations from their work during the day. A wonderful place with wonderful teachers. For her age, our little one has grown so much in skills, speech and knowledge that she amazes us at home. She is not yet three and already knows her colours, counts, knows letters and animals. She behaves extremely well and is very well brought up. The first 7 years are the most important, but for us the first 4 are even more so. This is the place – the best one for us in the area!
Yes, we do.
The children go outside every day – in the morning and in the evening – whatever the weather and temperature. From late spring to early autumn, most of our activities take place in the yard. Quite often both the morning and the afternoon snack are eaten outside too.
Yes, you can.
For ages 1–3 we do not require any of these. Every child comes to us at a different stage. We work together with parents to help the child become independent and build self-care habits.
In the nursery group, children go to sleep at 12:30.
It is recommended, as it makes the transition easier for the child.
Older children who do not sleep have a rest and play quiet games, or are given light tasks to do.
Folk dancing, yoga, English, ceramics, modern dance and music lessons.
We follow the curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education and Science across all learning areas. We enrich it in every way we can, using many additional materials and sources. Every topic is illustrated, acted out, built and drawn. We have a great many everyday activities connected with practical life.
From 1 year 2 months to 6 years.
From 8:00 to 9:00. We ask that children arrive by 8:30 if possible.
No, that option is not available.
От пет дни до месец.
No, we do not offer settling-in with a parent present. We offer gradual settling-in without a parent.
Yes, our meals come from a central children's kitchen.
With 12 children in a group, there is one teacher and one teaching assistant; with 15 children, there is one teacher and two teaching assistants.
We accept children from 1 to 6 years old.
Monday to Friday, from 8:00 to 18:00.
Settling-in is gradual. In the first days the child stays for a short time, and then a little longer each day. We follow the child, their mood and their needs, and extend their stay as they become ready.
We offer breakfast, a fruit snack at 10:00, lunch and an afternoon snack. The weekly menu is published on the website and is the same at every location.
Send us an inquiry through the contact form or give us a call. We will invite you to visit, so you can meet us, see the place and discuss the enrolment terms. Your child must have all the vaccinations required for their age and the medical tests required for nursery/kindergarten. We then sign a contract.
Book a visit – we will show you around, introduce the team and answer all your questions.
