How children grow into two languages

Our bilingual approach follows the immersion principle: children encounter English as a natural part of daily life – at the breakfast table, in the garden, during circle time. Language is never drilled. Children first listen, then understand, and – when they’re ready – begin to speak.

A native speaker in every group

Every group includes a qualified educator who speaks English as their first language. Children hear authentic English every day, and the clear link between person and language gives them orientation and supports natural language acquisition.

Woven into the day, not added on top

English isn’t a subject here. It’s part of meals, play, songs and daily routines – and language connected to action and emotion is language that sticks.

Each child’s own pace

Children are never pushed to speak. They listen, experience and join in when they feel ready – building confidence instead of pressure.

Wohlfühlräume – spaces designed to feel like home

Every Kitarino room is designed from a child’s perspective: furniture at child height, cosy corners to retreat to, and open space to run, build and make-believe. We call them Wohlfühlräume – feel-good spaces. Because children learn best – in any language – where they feel safe.

A gentle start (Eingewöhnung)

Starting daycare is a big step. Our settling-in process is gradual and individual: child, parents and a dedicated educator get to know each other slowly – and it only ends when everyone is ready.

Every child, just as they are

We welcome each child with their own interests, talents and tempo – no rigid curriculum, no comparison.

Room to move

Big group rooms, a dedicated movement room and a generous outdoor area mean there’s always space to run, climb and tumble.

Questions international families ask us

No. Children join us with all language backgrounds. Through immersion they grow into both languages at their own pace – listening first, speaking when they’re ready.

No. You can communicate with our team in English. Official paperwork is in German, but we’ll guide you through it.

A native English-speaking educator is part of every group, and English is woven into meals, play, songs and routines every day. Kindergarten children also have daily structured English sessions and a monthly preschool session in English.

Fees depend on your child’s age and booked hours – see the current price list (PDF, German). Public subsidies can reduce your costs considerably, and we’ll help you apply.

From 6 months until school entry (around age 6), in nursery and kindergarten groups.

On 1 September 2026 – and places are still available.

A gradual start over several weeks in which your child, you and a dedicated educator build trust step by step. It ends only when everyone – above all your child – is ready.
