Our school

Kindergarten

Since August2016, all departments in our kindergartens are managed in a two-year, mixed-agemodel, with the first kindergarten year being a voluntary offer. Each child is supported according to their potential. The focus is on the holistic promotion of existing strengths and the support of any weaknesses in order to best prepare them for primary school. Playful and active learning is also very important. Free play, mutual learning and cooperation are of the utmost importance.
