Private kindergartens offer variety of courses, education approaches

As Ukraine turns to the West, private international kindergartens are gaining popularity among parents who want to give their kids a head start into the country's European future. Several private kindergartens in Kyiv are now offering not just English- and other-language teaching environments, but the latest educational techniques. With state kindergartens overloaded and still following Soviet-style programs, the private option has never been so attractive - to those parents who can afford it, of course.
