Learning is a natural part of life
We strive to create an environment where children learn and have fun in a playful way.
We strongly believe in learning through play close to nature. We help children to develop social skills and a sense of belonging to a group with respect for each other.
Our educational approach encourages children to become confident, relying on personal strengths. We aim to provide a nuturing environment giving each child the opportunity to become independent to develop into a confident person.
Speaking German is fun
Our bilingual approach allows children to be immersed in language and culture.
We promote bilingualism from early childhood. Before the age of seven is when two languages are most easily learned. When children first begin to speak a new language they will not be fluent and will communicate by intonation rather than words. They are greatly helped if they can talk with people who are completely fluent.
We strongly believe it particularly stimulates children in their intellectual development to learn from more than one culture and to hear and speak another language. This also positively influences the children’s self-esteem. The German Kindergarten staff are native German speakers. We emphasise storytelling and reading as a way to immerse the children in a German speaking environment. We also teach about German language and culture by following German holidays and traditions.
Inclusion and diversity
Everyone is welcome.
We are inclusive. We believe diversity makes us stronger together. We celebrate diversity in our German Kindergarten community in everything that we do. We embrace fresh approaches to diversity and inclusion we believe that nurturing this in young children will help to build a better future together.
Healthy eating at the Kindergarten
We love good food, we love to share food and we also want to instil the love of good food in the children. Philippe is our passionate chef, continuously creating new dishes and a keen believer in inspiring the children to try out new food.
We choose to serve mainly plant-based food because it is healthy and nutritious, it is good for our environment and by doing so we promote respect for other living beings. When creating the menu we have taken advice from a nutritionist. We get inspiration from experienced chefs, we aim to shop locally and seasonal taking influences from all over the world.
