The new Hvězdička (Little Star) Kindergarten has been built in Šlapanice, nestled among family houses. On a small corner plot, a compact and playful two-classroom building has emerged, featuring a hidden garden, a rooftop outdoor classroom, and terraces that cleverly extend the interior spaces of both classrooms.
