Parents are actively involved in Planet Kids. There are monthly “Mommy Coffees” that cover the past month, upcoming activities and a special guest such as a child psychologist. The school’s director, Gaby Moharos, teaches weekly English classes. Planet Kids posts all information related to menus, schedules and celebrations on their website and around the school. Prospective families are invited in to attend class, tour the facilities and speak with staff.

Planet Kids takes pride in their high quality food and school materials. Meals and snacks come from a catering service that offers meals for children with allergies that look just like the others. Planet Kids seeks arts, crafts, reading and other materials from high quality shops or abroad in order to maintain high standards, hygiene and health for students.
