Preschool Campus

Our Preschool Campus is located in a spacious villa surrounded by a large garden, providing a warm, nurturing, and inspiring environment for our youngest learners. At this location, we care for children aged 1 to 5 years, supporting their development through play-based, inquiry-led learning in a caring international community. Our Kindergarten/Preschool groups for children aged 5 to 6 years are located on the Main School Campus, helping to ensure a smooth transition into primary education.

In addition to generous indoor and outdoor play spaces, the campus features a 6m x 12m garden plot, where more than 25 varieties of fruits and vegetables are grown, offering children meaningful hands-on learning experiences connected to nature.

The Preschool Campus benefits from its excellent location and access to valuable “doorstep resources,” including the Schillerplatz Public Library, the Waldpark, and the Elbe River. It is also conveniently located within walking distance of two tram lines.

To ensure a safe and secure environment, the property is fully enclosed with a fence and secured front and back gates. Our Preschool Campus is open daily from 7:30 to 18:00.

You can reach the Preschool Office at Goetheallee 18 by phone at +49 351 3125 416.

Caring Environment

On the ground floor of the villa are the Bumblebees (age 1-2) and Ducklings (age 2-3) classrooms, the foyer, and the school office. On the first floor are three classrooms of the 3-5-year olds, and on the second floor, there is an atelier, library, resource room, staff kitchen, and staff lounge. The kitchen, cafeteria, sports room, and two coatrooms are in the basement.
