Concept

We see our Kindergarten as a “House of Education” (Haus für Bildung) focussing on the needs of the children and the expectations of the parents. The children we provide care for learn to accept and appreciate the diversity of people. We encourage them to try out new things, to respect themselves and others, to be thoughtful, tolerant and patient, and to develop their own skills and competences.

We look after a total of 134 boys and girls in 

-  two Crèche groups for children from 18 months up to three years,
-  two Kindergarten groups for children from three to five years,
-  three Preschool groups for children from five to six years. 

Kindergarten and Preschool groups consist of 22 children, Crèche groups of 12 children. A teaching staff of three looks after each group during the core hours. One teacher is an English native speaker, one a German native speaker and the third one either of the two. With the help of the immersion method, the children are exposed to the two languages and grow up bilingually in a very natural way. Reliability and trust are key elements in our relationship with each child. Each child is part of a fixed (feste) group and has one main contact during the settling in period.

A special feature in our Kindergarten is our Preschool, which prepares the children in a play-oriented manner for school during a whole year, thus ensuring a smooth transition into the 1st year level in Primary.

Our concept highly values the individual child. We realise that each child learns at their own pace. Developmental feedback is shared with parents regarding their child’s progress, and by cooperating closely with the parents we can ensure that each child is supported in the right manner leading towards the next developmental step.
