Philosophy and Curriculum

Kinderstube is modeled after both the modern German Kindergarten and the American preschool. We strive to create an environment that fosters social, emotional, and intellectual growth and creativity. We believe children’s play should be an adventure in discovery and enhanced rather than directed by adult interactions.

Kinderstube also helps children develop basic skills in math concepts, reading and writing to prepare them for school. The curriculum is built around daily activities that are organized according to weekly and seasonal themes. Children entering kindergarten the following year will participate in a daily, fun “Deutschstunde” to learn and practice skills for kindergarten.
