German International Kindergarten opening in September 2009
*Subject to approval and licensing by Texas Protective and Regulatory Services
The Kindergarten will be open to children ages 1-5 and will offer a high quality pedagogical program. The kindergarten’s goal is to provide a familiarly playing environment where the children will be able to develop their motor, social and intellectual skills in a subject oriented environment following the German curriculum .
We believe that by creating a familiarly atmosphere and having children of different ages come together, we will be able to create an environment of comfort and community.
The children will be optimally prepared for school and a global, intercultural society. A highly qualified and experienced German speaking teacher will accompany the children during the whole day. The young age of the children permits the kindergarten to incorporate children whose mother tongue is not German.
For the first year there is a limit of 6 children at a time.
