The Parkside School Montessori Kindergarten is bilingual. Both staff and children speak a fluid mixture of English and German. We work with the children in a very focused way, for example with songs and rhymes, flash cards, letters, and even reading and writing.

In addition, we combine our thematic subjects with the language. For example, if we have the subject "farm" we then translate and use the specific words in both languages. Like that, the children learn the two languages in a playful way.

German as a second language (language support)

We offer "German as a Second Language courses" ("DaZ", Deutsch als Zweitsprache) for kindergarten children that are signed up with Parkside School. This is an additional course outside of the normal kindergarten hours for children that may benefit from additional German lessons in addition to what we already do in the normal kindergarten hours.
