We follow the immersion principle: each carer consistently speaks their native language, either German or English. Children experience both languages naturally throughout the day, with songs, stories and picture books in both languages.
Alongside daily handover chats, you receive regular photos and updates through our parent app. We record your child’s progress in a digital development portfolio and discuss it with you in regular development meetings.
Availability varies by age group and start date, so we recommend getting in touch early. We would be delighted to welcome you for a personal visit.
