By combining the latest teaching methods with first class facilities and resources, each child is encouraged to achieve their full potential in all areas of school life.
Our Early Years programme, designed for children from 3 months to 6 years of age, encompasses Nursery, Pre-K, and Kindergarten (1 & 2). This formative stage sets the foundation for a lifelong learning journey, preparing children for a happy and successful transition to the next phase of their education.
The entire Early Years programme is delivered in a dual-language environment (German and English), fostering language development from the start. We warmly welcome babies from 3 months old in our Little Ibex Nursery & Kita, which operates year-round for 50 weeks, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. For detailed information about our provision options, please refer to the sections below.
OUR APPROACH
Play-based learning: Nurturing confident young minds
Our teachers engage with each child, providing well-planned, stimulating activities in a safe environment. Our dedicated professionals are approachable and supportive, making education a joyful experience.
We prioritise fostering confidence and a love of learning, creating a nurturing environment. Our designated area within the primary campus caters to the needs of our youngest students. Building relationships is our top priority, establishing trust and respect as the foundation for quality learning.
Curriculum
Our Early Years programme supports the development of the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—through purposeful play and guided learning.
Children explore key early learning goals in communication, physical development, personal and social skills, early literacy, and mathematical thinking. Alongside structured activities, there is space for imagination, movement, and language exposure in both English and German. The environment is nurturing, engaging, and designed to help each child grow in confidence while building the foundations for lifelong learning.
