Our Educators
Anastasia
My name is Anastasia, and I’m 28 years old.
After graduating from secondary school (11th grade), I was faced with a question:
“What do I truly want to do with my life, and what brings me joy?”
Let me start from the beginning—
I was lucky to be born into a large family with many children, and I’m the oldest among my siblings and cousins.
Naturally, I spent a lot of time throughout my childhood and teenage years with younger kids. I played with them, cared for them, and tried to teach them what I had already learned.
So when I started thinking about my calling, I quickly realized that I wanted to work in a kindergarten or elementary school.
I graduated from Moscow State Pedagogical University (MPGU) with a degree in Elementary Education.
While studying, I also worked at an early childhood development center, where I gained hands-on experience—and it was there that I fully fell in love with the role of an educator.
Now, I’ve been working with preschoolers for 7 years, caring for and teaching children of all ages—from 8 months to 7 years old—and I get enormous joy from doing what I love.
If you asked me:
“What exactly attracts you to this profession?”
I would say this:
With children, I feel free.
I learn with them to enjoy every moment and to notice the beauty in the world around us.
But most of all, I love watching how—day by day—children grow, learn, and discover the world.

Nick
Hello! My name is Nikita, I’m 25 years old, and I work as a kindergarten teacher at Sunshine Kindergarten on the sunny island of Samui.
My journey into this profession began with a dream — to create a space where every child feels confident, joyful, and truly loved. This idea has become the foundation of all my educational work.
I have over 6 years of experience in early childhood education: I have developed enrichment programs and led activities where learning naturally blended with play. I focus especially on developing English skills, creativity, dance, and physical abilities — all of which help children express themselves in different ways and move forward with confidence.
For me, being a teacher means not only guiding and educating, but also learning from the children themselves.
Their sincerity, imagination, and energy inspire me every day. I believe that education is a partnership — between the teacher, the child, and the parents. It is through this trust and cooperation that we can create a solid, happy, and reliable foundation for a child’s life.
I’m excited for the opportunities ahead and truly believe that together with you and your children, we will experience many bright, kind, and unforgettable moments!

Adaptation was easy, lots of attention and care, good nutrition… Every day we got little crafts—so nice! My child still remembers songs and dances she learned
Лиза Артамонова
My daughter attended for four months with pleasure… She started speaking English a little. The food is top‑notch restaurant quality.
