Weekday Preschool

On weekdays we offer school to students between the ages of 3 and 6: The youngest can join our preschool, and the older ones go to Kindergarten.

Preschool (3yr-5yr)

Our preschool program is a play- and project-based program where students have time for free play with their class friends along with structured projects that incorporate different themes of the seasons, cultural events, the environment, kids' interests, and more. Each project lasts about 4-6 weeks and is driven by the children's curiosity and ideas which will be incorporated in the learning process. All projects will cover science, reading, mathematical concepts, music, art, and crafts, and will be taught in German only.

All students who require a nap will have a possibility to sleep during the day. Students who do not nap will still have "quiet time" in the classroom to calm down and relax from the whirlwind of preschool.

Kinderschule also nurtures physical well-being through frequent trips to the playground or walks in the neighborhood (weather permitting), and physical education in the DANK Haus. Every project also has a field trip included, and students will take public transportation to the Zoo, museums, community centers, and more.

At our Haus we strive to be respectful and inclusive, and while the German language has a rigid binary structure, we are aware of the implications of these norms, and aspire to teach our children a more inclusive way of using these structures. And although there are limitations to what the language allows grammatically, please let us know directly if you or your child(ren) have a preferred noun and/or pronoun you and/or your child would like to be addressed with.
