OUR APPROACH

Nurturing young minds

Our teachers provide a nurturing and stimulating environment, ensuring children have the space and support to explore and learn through play and structured activities.

Additionally, the kindergarten program includes full-day care options, catering to the needs of modern families. We believe that every child has the right to an individual and high-quality education that encourages our children to become life-long learners.

Curriculum

1st & 2nd kindergarten

As the children develop, we foster their skills in reading, language and numbers to provide a secure basis for numeracy and literacy.

In small groups, children are immersed in two rich language environments staffed by a German-speaking and an English-speaking team.

We attach great importance to movement and outdoor play, and as such we offer our youngest learners weekly sessions, throughout the year, therefore experiencing all weathers and the changing seasons. FOUR-FOREST’s outdoor classroom encourages an appreciation of the natural world and builds self-esteem and confidence.

Activities includes:
knowledge and understanding of the world
communication, language, reading and writing
mathematical development
personal, social and emotional development
expressive arts and design
physical development

Bilingual Kindergarten

The FOUR-FOREST Kindergarten curriculum is informed by a rigorous knowledge of children’s development as learners. It builds on what they already know and can do and what they are keen to learn next.

The children at FOUR-FOREST are already 5 years old when they enter Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year in August. They are immersed in a rich language environment and lessons are delivered in English and German. The children have two teachers who both teach in their mother tongue. We offer Kindergarten as a full-time programme, with Wednesday afternoons free.

The lively curriculum has a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy, and includes science, history, geography, physical education, dance, drama, music, art and craft.

The FOUR-FOREST School is fantastic! The bilingual school concept has taught our two children, in such a short time, both English and German. The teachers are amazing and the classes are small. We can fully recommend the Four-Forest School.
