Our kindergarten Maple Bear in Olomouc is located on Kosmonautů Avenue in the newest premise of the BEA campus, which is called the BEA city business residence. The spacious, modern kindergarten facilities are seamlessly connected to the school's playground, where children can spend time outdoors. Parking for parents is provided in the underground garage of the BEA campus for the time necessary to drop off and pick up their children at school.
