Our day in the Kindergarten
Bilingual and diverse

Our goal is to nurture children's self-confidence and inspire a love of learning. With a diverse programme in both German and English, combined with personalised support, each day becomes a meaningful experience filled with learning and play.

Crèche

1 - 3 years

Our crèche creates a protected and caring environment in which your child feels safe and motivated to explore the world of two languages in a playful way. In small groups, they grow at their own pace and receive loving support. We adapt the care to your child's individual needs in close partnership with you. 

Elementary group

3 - 6 years

At the age of three, an exciting new phase of learning and discovery begins. Together, we lay another important foundation for your child's development. Through a nurturing blend of playful learning and targeted activities, we foster curiosity, creativity, and individual skills—cognitively, socially, and physically. In our bilingual environment, children naturally grow up with both German and English, supported by experienced native-speaking educators.

Snack, free play and pick-up time

The afternoon starts with a light snack before children engage in creative and active play. Depending on the weather, they can enjoy the courtyard—digging in the sandpit, riding toy vehicles, drawing with chalk, or playing with friends from other groups. The day winds down with pick-up time before the kindergarten closes at 18:00.

Eating together

Healthy eating is important to us.

Our children enjoy healthy and varied meals throughout the day, including breakfast, a morning and afternoon snack, and lunch - freshly prepared every day by the trained chefs from our caterer leckerlogisch. We carefully consider any allergies or intolerances. Additionally, the children are actively involved in selecting their meals, fostering a sense of responsibility and engagement.  

Sport and art

In addition to bilingual education, our work also includes a special focus on sport and art.

In our well-equipped, modern art room (studio), your child can experience the joy being creative. Children have the freedom to paint large murals, create detailed artwork through colouring, cutting, and gluing, and fully express their creativity. We actively nurture their artistic enthusiasm. For movement and play, they can enjoy our spacious indoor activity rooms and beautifully designed inner courtyard. 

Reception (preschool)

From Age 5

From the age of five, we support your child on their journey to school. Our skills-based Pirate Journey programme fosters self-confidence, nurtures a love of learning, and sparks curiosity through engaging, play-based activities in German and English. Close collaboration with the primary school, along with exciting visits to everyday school life, gives your child valuable first insights—ensuring a smooth and motivating transition to Year 1.

Key focuses of our reception programme

Easier transition to our primary school

Routines and structures already established in preschool, along with the familiar faces of our educators, create a sense of familiarity with the school environment. Basic skills and learning techniques, as well as social skills gained through group work, make the transition to primary school smoother. 

Early language skills and support

At a young age, children learn quickly and can easily master both German and English. With consistent exposure to both languages, their language skills develop almost effortlessly. The children in our reception are already accustomed to a bilingual environment and benefit from this continuity. Together, we build the foundation for an open and linguistically rich future filled with opportunities.  

Social and emotional development

In our preschool, children strengthen their communication, develop self-confidence and discover cultural openness through play thanks to our international diversity. In this way, we lovingly prepare them for a diverse world.
