We are the Preschool Institution Dečija Palata, a growing and developing organization alongside our little ones. Our work plan and program encompass the psycho-physical development of children, with a professional and carefully selected staff dedicated to providing high-quality educational and developmental work in small groups.
We are located in Voždovac, at Zaplanjska Street 60, near the Stadium Shopping Center.
The institution is housed in a fully renovated house of about 300 m², where children socialize, explore the world, experiment, and enjoy the most dynamic and important period of their growth — childhood. The yard, with one open and one covered section, provides children the opportunity to spend time outdoors throughout the year. Spacious terraces also allow our little ones to be outside during certain activities. We make every effort to ensure children spend as much time as possible outdoors and participate in sports activities. The space in which the children stay is bright, pleasant, and tailored to their needs, equipped with modern and safe equipment.
We have classrooms for preschool education, playrooms, additional activity rooms, a rest room, dining area, kitchen, and child-friendly toilets. The facility is equipped with various didactic materials, catering to the diverse needs and interests of our children.
Our team consists of highly qualified educators and professionals, who have gained knowledge and experience in our country and continue to learn internationally. We provide a fertile and nurturing environment for our staff, where they apply their knowledge and experience and encourage progress.
By providing love, a sense of belonging, and safety, we strengthen children and prepare them for what lies ahead in the future. The family atmosphere and daily activities allow us to develop different abilities in children, creativity, imagination, independence, knowledge, and progress, while uncovering their hidden potential. Every child is an individual with different needs, abilities, and developmental characteristics, requiring a personalized approach.
Our mission is to provide children with as many "tools" as possible to explore not only the world around them but also themselves. We teach them to recognize their qualities and abilities and believe in themselves. Together with families, we form a team that builds an independent, satisfied, confident, curious, and, above all, happy and smiling child.
In addition to the above, children will have the opportunity to develop creative abilities through our painting, sculpting, music, drawing, dance, and English programs, as well as continue their proper development through our "Sports School" program, which we conduct in collaboration with a physical education coach.
Educational activities in the kindergarten are complemented by outdoor activities, recreational classes, visits to culturally significant institutions, schools, and other places of interest.
Meals provided at the kindergarten are based on healthy nutrition, prepared in cooperation with our nutritionist, considering the nutritional needs of preschool children.
We believe that the best cooperation is achieved through good communication, and we encourage parents to stay in touch with us, participate, make suggestions, and offer ideas to provide the best possible experience for their children during their education.
Come and join us in enjoying your child's growth together.
CITY SUBSIDY
Enrollment in the Dečija Palata preschool institution with a city subsidy, granted by the competent authority, means that parents pay the regular price they would normally pay for their child in a public kindergarten, while the difference up to the full price for enrolling in a private kindergarten is covered by the city. To approve the subsidy, it is necessary to submit the required documentation, as there are certain conditions that must be met.
Parents eligible for a subsidy (covering part of the cost of their child's stay in a private preschool institution) must meet the following conditions:
• Citizens of the Republic of Serbia
• Children registered in the city of Belgrade
• We are available to assist parents with paperwork and requests.
Parents sign a contract with the preschool institution for enrollment, which is based on the terms under which the institution operates. The parent is obliged to pay the agreed price from the first day of enrollment. The subsidy application is submitted to the relevant Belgrade City Administration department, using a form available on their website, or it can be obtained at their office or at Dečija Palata.
The subsidy will be paid from the Belgrade city budget to the parent's personal bank account, based on the issued decision, for the previous month, with confirmation of the child's attendance.

PROFESSIONAL TEAM AND COLLABORATORS
The professional team at Dečija Palata (preschool and nursery) includes psychologists, nurses, educators in nurseries, educators in preschool groups, professional collaborators (pediatricians, sports instructors, English language experts, music teachers, medical staff), and technical support staff.
Our team consists of highly qualified educators and professionals who have gained their knowledge and experience in our country and continue to improve internationally. We provide a nurturing and supportive environment for our staff, where their expertise and progress are continually nurtured.
PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING
We provide daily psychological support to both parents and children attending the kindergarten, tracking children's growth and development, and organizing workshops. Our team includes psychologists who are also in training for various psychotherapeutic approaches.
PEDIATRICIAN
Our kindergarten’s pediatrician is an experienced children's doctor who collaborates with multiple kindergartens in Belgrade. Children are examined once a month, with additional consultations as needed. The pediatrician also provides advice and workshops for parents regarding children's health and prevention.
SPORTS
Physical activity is essential for a child's health and development. We emphasize sports programs and offer dynamic, fun, and free physical activities when weather permits. We teach children the basics of sports and healthy living. Through play and socializing, children will improve their fitness and motor skills while gaining confidence and learning to make decisions and solve new tasks.
MUSIC
Music plays an important role in preschool development. It enhances hearing, rhythm, and the use of musical instruments, while calming and connecting children. Music helps emotional development, creativity, and social skills.
ENGLISH
We offer an English language program for preschool children through the "Cookie and Friends" program, which helps children quickly adopt the language in a structured, engaging way.
Dečija Palata is a place where children grow, dream, and make their first discoveries, building a joyful, safe, and inspiring environment for learning, playing, and growing. Welcome!
