Our PhorMinis Kindergarten, with dedicated crèche and early years areas, provides a warm and safe environment where your child can playfully explore the bilingual world. Native-speaking educators lovingly guide the children in German and English making sure that each child receives individual support tailored to their needs. In our playfully designed Reception (pre-school), children in their final year of kindergarten are gently and individually prepared for primary school.
Our teachers always focus on the individual strengths and interests of your child. We encourage creativity, independence and social skills while creating a safe and secure environment.
Your child will naturally and intuitively learn both German and English, as our experienced educators communicate exclusively in their native language. This makes becoming bilingual effortless and enjoyable.
With childcare hours from 07:00 to 18:00, we ensure flexible and reliable full-day care for you and your child.
Thanks to our higher staff-to-child ratio, we can meet the needs of each individual child and build a close, trusting relationship.
PhorMinis features thoughtfully designed, age-appropriate rooms that support your child's development at every stage. From cosy crèche rooms to stimulating early years spaces, each environment is tailored to meet the needs of the children.
At PhorMinis we offer a balance of open and structured activity areas, providing both security and freedom. Children benefit from a sense of stability while also being encouraged to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace.
Our catering partner "leckerlogisch." provides fresh, healthy organic food - for breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack. Allergies, intolerances and religious requirements are taken into account.
Our approach is rooted in our bilingual concept, the Berlin Education Plan, and strong collaboration with you as parents.
The immersion method is based on immersing children in an environment where both German and English are used in everyday situations. In our bilingual Phorms Kindergarten, this happens naturally as part of the daily routine. Your child gains more than just a head start in language and education; they begin to develop a global perspective.
Children at PhorMinis learn both languages intuitively; the same way they’ve begun to learn their mother tongue. They quickly adapt to different language environments, and we support the spoken language with actions, gestures, and facial expressions to make the process smooth and natural.
Through early immersion in both languages, your child will develop a sound understanding of vocabulary, grammar and cultural nuances.
Studies show that children who learn two languages early on are often more cognitively flexible and develop better problem-solving skills.
Immersion encourages children to appreciate and understand different cultures, as they immerse themselves in these worlds through the acquisition of language.
The focus of this federal programme, funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women, and Youth, is the targeted linguistic support of children in internationally oriented nurseries. This allows us to add an additional specialist to our team, who focuses specifically on integrating language-based educational work into everyday activities, inclusive pedagogy, and collaboration with families.
A strong partnership between parents and educators is crucial for each child’s development and provides the best basis for their development. Parent-educator meetings, newsletters, and our information board for daily activities round off the communication. This partnership strengthens the trust and bond between you, us and your child.

We provide balanced, regional, and certified organic meals, freshly prepared every day by the trained chefs from our caterer, leckerlogisch. Meal planning follows the quality standards of the German Nutrition Society, ensuring a nutritious diet.
Fresh water is available throughout the day, and at breakfast, children can choose from healthy beverage options such as herbal or fruit teas. Our menu typically includes fish once a week and organic poultry or beef twice a week—we do not serve pork.
Mealtimes are about more than just food—they foster a sense of community. Children eat together with their educators, learning good table manners and respectful behaviour. After lunch, children enjoy free playtime to run, explore, and recharge.
Every child goes through a simple admissions process, which may vary slightly depending on the class level. This helps us get to know your child and understand their basic abilities, skills, and language development.
We focus on age-appropriate development, ensuring a relaxed and supportive environment. Children complete fun, age-appropriate tasks and can play and interact with peers of the same age.
Yes, admission is not possible without a daycare voucher (Kita-Voucher) from the City of Berlin.
