German Bergmäuse Preschool

Bergmäuse Preschool Program School Year 2024/25

Preschool Material & Snack Fee 2024/25

"The Boulder German School preschool program is our family's favorite preschool. The quality of the education and interaction with the students is superb. The children get creative activities, thematic and fun learning, focused attention from the teachers and plenty of outdoor activity time.

Both our three and five-year olds love it! Our three-year-old asks whether it's a German school day every morning... hoping that it is."

German Preschool Program

We would like to welcome interested families to participate in a German Preschool Program (single skill) for the school year 2024/25. Once a week, your child/children will be completely immersed in the German language. No class during Thanksgiving (11/25 - 11/28), Christmas (12/16-1/3) and Spring break (3/24 - 3/28).

Two teachers (depending upon group size) will help your child to learn at their individual level and pace. Playful interactions, German songs, nursery rhymes, finger plays, fairy tales are part of the program, as well as gross and fine motor skills, development tasks, creativity and free playtime for make believe. Intercultural learning will be incorporated by celebrating cultural events.

A family style snack will be provided by the school and your child will learn self-help skills such as pouring, eating with utensils, hand washing among social language skills at the table.

General ideas how to support your child learning German at home:

Learning a language is similar to learning an instrument. The more you practice the better you get. Exposing your child to a foreign language once a week is not enough.

Here are some ideas how to support your child at home:

  1. Communicate with your child. Let your child show you what she/he is doing in class.

  2. Communicate with the teacher. What can we do at home?

  3. Make room in your calendar for an additional 1/2 hour German Fun time a week. Ask you teacher about videos
    & other fun material to work on. You could enroll your child in an additional German Online Class
    (additional 30' or 45' exposure a week).

  4. Volunteer to help in class.
