About Kinderhaus
Report
Originally established as a preschool co-op, Kinderhaus has grown and flourished into full-time, German immersion preschool. The values and community that were established in the early days of Kinderhaus remain true today. We celebrate culture. Kinderhaus is a German immersion preschool that respects and values the many unique backgrounds that bring us together.
Program
Report
The Kinderhaus program welcomes children around the age of 2.9 through 5 years old. We are often flexible with the start age depending on a child's overall preschool readiness. The school year begins each year in August, and runs through mid-July, with a 4-week break in the summer. The Kinderhaus program operates daily from 8:30am to 5:30pm.
Approach
Report
As we aim to foster social and intellectual growth in your child, Kinderhaus provides activities that stimulate senses, engage curiosity, and provide opportunities for exploration, experimentation, and conversation. Here is an example of how, by listening to and observing the interests of the children, we provide hands-on experiences and materials to inspire activities that seek further exploration.
Teachers
