German-American Preschool Kindergarten

The Preschool of the German-American International School is a place where children are given the opportunity to learn and grow as whole individuals. To do so, Preschool activities address the needs of the total child. We believe that social, physical, emotional, and cognitive growth are interrelated and are of equal value. The Preschool is designed to encourage and guide children in the development of self-direction, individual responsibility, and intellectual growth.

We believe that children can reach their fullest potential if they are able to develop a positive self-image. To emphasize this goal, our Preschool offers an environment in which they can learn to choose their activities, cooperate, share and form friendships with peers. As a matter of fact, our philosophy is very similar to that of the National Association of the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

Many schools seem to emphasize the intellectual growth of the child but the social-emotional and motor development often gets neglected. Education at this age, it is more important that children learn how to make friends, solve problems and resolve conflicts, assert themselves, become responsible and independent, ride a bike and are overall physically active, than being able to recite the ABCs.
