Johanna's English-Greek Nursery School (Kindergarten)

My son Johnny attends this kindergarten, and he absolutely loves it. The school is very well organized, with highly trained professionals who genuinely care about the children. Every morning, the staff welcomes the kids with warm smiles, and I can clearly see the positive impact it has on my son. He is already counting in Greek and speaks so fondly of his teachers. My child adapted beautifully to the new environment (of course, this can depend on each individual child), but the supportive atmosphere truly makes a difference. The kindergarten is also an extremely safe space — no unauthorized person can enter, and the toddlers cannot leave the premises unattended. This gives me great peace of mind as a parent. Communication has always been pleasant and professional. Mr. Alan, Mrs. Joanna, and all the teachers are fantastic. I highly recommend this kindergarten to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and well-structured environment for their child. - Tatiana

Today is a sad day for my family as it is my daughter's last day at Mrs. Johanna's. For the past two years they have not only taught my daughter, they have loved and nurtured her. My daughter was premature and has had speech and motor skill delays. Her teachers and Mrs. Johanna never let her quit or settle. They worked with her everyday to be better. They congratulated her when speech and occupational therapy started working. The have been her biggest cheerleaders and the best educational support we could ask for. My daughter cries on weekends because she wants to go to school. When she has an accomplishment she can't wait to share it with her teachers and Mrs. Johanna. She loves learning because they made it fun and catered to her learning style. In our ideal world this school would go up to secondary so we would never have to leave the amazing staff that has become family. As american expat, we wanted our daughter to speak greek and not only did she learn the language at school, she learned the culture and she loves it. My child was met with hugs in the morning. Redirection and discipline when she strayed. Understanding and comfort when she was sad or sick. There are not enough stars to truly review this school. We can't recommend it enough and we are so sad to go. We love you Mrs. Johanna and could never thank you, your family, and your staff enough for the love you have given our baby.

A wonderful place where my little girl learned to speak English brilliantly from scratch. The teachers are kind and the child always went to the kindergarten with joy. Lots of creativity, crafts, drawings. A separate comment about Joanna - she is great, highly professional and kind to children, without raising her voice she can easily capture children's attention, interest, direct and at the same time instill high morals and the best qualities in children. I recommend to everyone!

My 5 year old has been attending this school since September 2023. So far I have seen a great improvement in her social, verbal and communication skills in both Greek and English. All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide her with so much care, attention and positivity. In summary I am very pleased to highly recommend the school. All in all, great work and thanks.

It’s my son’s third year at Johanna’s school. He is very happy. I get many stories from him and I talk to him about his experiences.. he is fluent in English he even teaches me Greek that he has learned from his teachers.. All the teachers are fantastic (but Ms Kiki is his favorite he says) 😊I highly recommend every child to attend this school because for my son they are amazing!! And it will be for your child too.

My son has been going to Johannas Nursery school since he was 2 years old and currently he is 5 years old. The staff are friendly, professional and nurturing. Mrs. Johanna and the staff (a special thank you to amazing Kiki and caring Vivi) do everything than can to provide welcoming, loving atmosphere, healthy food, clean and safe environment and great education. I would recommended our kindergarten to everyone.

Писала отзыв об этом саде 2 года назад, но, судя по всему его удалили… Что ж, не поленюсь написать еще раз. Это был отвратительный опыт, о котором до сих пор неприятно вспоминать. Абсолютно неадекватное отношение к клиентам. За ваши же деньги на вас будут орать и хамить вам, постоянно придумывать какие-то непостижимые правила. Перевела в этот сад сына из английского, чтобы греческий тоже учил. По итогу посещения сада в течение 1,5 лет греческий так и остался на нуле. Еда отвратительная, одни макароны в томатном соусе - приходилось постоянно привозить обеды сыну. В саду нет ни отопления, ни кондиционеров. Знаю многих родителей, которые также столкнулись с хамством и грубостью от руководства этого сада… водила туда сына только потому, что сад был в 2х минутах от офиса. Не рекомендую! Upd. А теперь я вижу, что после того, как администрация тщетно пыталась опять удалить мой честный отзыв, они показывают свое истинное лицо, извращая факты. - Это был второй сад, который посещал мой сын. Мне нелегко далось решение перевести его из прекрасного сада HP Learning Station, было два мотива: изучение греческого языка (который никто из известных мне учеников сада Johanna’s не выучил) и близость к моему офису. - Мне приходилось самой приезжать и следить за тем, как питается мой сын, т.к. еду предлагаемую садом он не ел категорически (там один глютен с томатным соусом). Эти обеды не нравятся никому. Цена вообще не соответствует. Комментарий от администрации школы по этому поводу максимально показывает их непрофессионализм и незнание детской психологии. В этом возрасте дети не способны чувствовать стыд за то что мама заботится о них, это приходит на более поздних этапах взросления. Напротив, мой сын был очень рад тому, что я приносила ему вкусную еду и заботилась о том, как он питается. Большинство детей просто отказывалось от еды, но, наверняка их родителям сообщали, что дети едой довольны…. - Руководство школы требовало пройти болезненное тестирование малышам, когда это не было обязательным требованием министерства образования, что они и подтвердили мне, когда я с ними связалась. Школа устанавливала свои правила, доводя их до абсурда, потому что владельцы пожилые люди и опасались заразиться от детей (зачем тогда продолжать бизнес?) Эти требования излагались в приказной и хамской форме, на меня кричали. Повторюсь, не я одна столкнулась с таким отношением… - В этой школе главное не дети, родители и их комфорт (за который родители платят приличную сумму), а удовлетворение неадекватных амбиций администрации. - И еще, до эпидемии ковида в саду принимали детей с явными симптомами гриппа/простуды, кашлем, соплями и так далее. Только после того, как владельцы переболели в тяжелой форме, этому аспекту стали уделять болезненное внимание, так как поняли на себе последствия. Но, явно с перебором… Я бы не стала писать это опять, если бы мой отзыв не удалили изначально. Значит, написала правду, которой боятся…

My daughter is 4 years old. She has been attending kindergarten since November 2022. The experience is very positive. She stopped crying on the second day. There has never been such a quick adaptation before. In six months, my daughter has learned a lot of English and Greek words and expressions. She goes to kindergarten with pleasure. During the holidays, she begins to miss kindergarten, which is a very good indicator. The daughter began to draw well and do crafts. Thanks a lot to Johanna, Kiki and the other caregivers. They are kind, polite, responsive and are professionals in their field. I strongly recommend this kindergarten.

Maybe one of the best English-Greek nursery schools in Limassol. Perfect teachers, excellent managerial organization and great premises! Strongly recommend having in mind that I used to be one of their students 30 years ago and now I am taking my son and he is enjoying every moment as I did.

My daughter started visiting this school last September, having not speaking greek before and practically in the beginner state of english. Hardly 4 months have passed and she already speaks/understands greek and english pretty well. I see how the school helped her evolve interests for drawing, dancing and gymnastics. The teachers (Johanna, Kiki, Liza) appear to have found an approach to my daughter and she likes going to the school. Also I like that they pay high attention to the security in the kindergarten.

We are really happy with the school. Our child’s progress and growth have been incredible. Thank you for creating a positive and welcoming environment for the kids. We’re fortunate to have such caring educators!

In 2019 I tried to contact the school because I had good references about the owner, Mrs. Joanna. Unfortunately a very rude man answered the phone and when I asked to speak with Mrs. Joanna, he was not giving the phone to her and was saying that “you can speak with me, I am the owner, I am her husband”. I didn’t like his attitude and did not arrange any viewing. Now, after 1.5 year I called again and for my bad luck he picked up the phone again. I asked to arrange a viewing and he said that this is not possible due to COVID measures (not sure if this is true because we could view all the other places). He said that if we want to see the place, we can check the photos on their website. He refused to discuss it even though I said that we are vaccinated and have the relevant Safe Pass. Probably he thinks it’s normal to drop your kid without viewing a place and speaking with the principal of the school. I honestly have no idea what this man is doing there but he is ruing the place only by picking up the phone. Update: After speaking with the lady who suggested the nursery, she told me that they have gone crazy after the pandemic and make up rules that have nothing to do with Ministry’s guidelines. For example, kids are not allowed to nap because of COVID (!!!). Even missing one day of school means that you have to do test to be accepted back. PS: My initial review was left in 2021. After my review, suddenly many reviews appeared made by profiles with only 1 review. They appealed to remove my review but I resubmitted it. Truth hurts.

Guys great job. I wana thank u in public. In just a few months my child became social and makes friends easily. Her English became better and now shes eating by her self. Im amazed from the progress. Thank you so much, i recommend you everywhere

so now you give me an answer. I sent a friendly email, trying to resolve the situation in a good way for both parties and you didn't even respond. What do you know about my character? who is being slanderous are you, saying such nonsense. my child did not want to continue in school and we thought it was better to take a break, and when that we found a better and closer option. if you had been reasonable, we would have at least answered the email privately and we would have tried to reach an agreement. but you don't care

I have been taking my daughter to Johannas nursery for a year now.i am super happy i made this choice.i have seen improvement on her social skills,her english also in her greek.and he surprises me every day with the things she know.i would recommend it to anyone

Εξαιρετικό νηπιαγωγείο! Προσωπικό με γνώσεις και πολλή αγάπη για τα παιδιά. Οργάνωση και μεθοδικότητα που φαίνεται στην πρόοδο του παιδιού σε επίπεδο γνώσης αλλά και συμπεριφοράς! Προετοιμάζει πάρα πολύ καλά τα παιδιά για το δημοτικό!! Παρόλες τις δυσκολίες από την πανδημία, με την τήρηση των κανονισμών και την ευθύνη που επιδεικνύουν, καταφέρνουν να κρατούν τα παιδιά ασφαλή και κυρίως να μένουν ανοιχτοί χωρίς να θέτουν σε κίνδυνο παιδιά και οικογένειες τους! Συνεχίστε την πολύ καλή δουλειά!!

The best kindergarten ever. 🙏🏻 We are very lucky to have You!
