Our Educational Cycle

At Maple Bear Kindergarten Sofia, we provide a bilingual (Bulgarian and Canadian) comprehensive preschool education program for children aged 2 to 7 years. Our Canadian methodology supports each stage of a child’s development, fostering academic, social, emotional, and physical growth in a nurturing environment.

By the time our students graduate, they are confident, independent, and well-prepared to continue their educational journey at Maple Bear Primary and High School, as well as at Bulgarian or international schools worldwide.
