The first plans for this building date from 1925. After some changes the construction works began in 1927 and were finished in August 1928. The location of the kindergarten corresponded to the ideal ideas of the architect Josef Gočár. He used his experiences from a trip to the Netherlands in 1924. There he became acquainted with the concept of "open schools". The complete opening of the windows of the semicircular rooms symbolise the opening between interior and exterior space and the turning towards nature. The most impressive architectural element are the semicircular part and the terraces on the left and right of the building with their concrete awnings. They were intended for sunbathing and relaxation on fresh air. These awnings and the flat roof of the whole building are the first example of modernist school architecture in Czechia. Likewise, the location of the kindergarten in this urban area reflects the new ideas for the school system. The main entrance on the southeast side functions as a direct passage into the large park next to the river Elbe. The motif that every child needs nature and greenery has been implemented by Gočár. On the other side, every child has direct access to the sports field, which is also used by the school children. The architect with this connection pursued the demands for sufficient movement and physical education.
The schools were not built until 1956 to 1959, but according to the plans of Josef Gočár from 1927.
