Bilingual Preschool and Daycare in Maxvorstadt

September 26th, 2007 by Reader

Treehouse e.V. is a bilingual parent’s initiative providing daycare and education to children 18 months to 6 years.  There are two groups at Treehouse, a Kinderkrippe (18 months - 3 years) and Kindergarten (3 years - 6 years). 

Treehouse was founded by a group of parents who wanted to provide their bilingual children with high-quality care and education within an international community.  Treehouse opened in May of 2007, in brand new premises, with the first group of children.  The second group of children started in September of 2007.  In order to provide a bilingual environment, there is a native English-speaking teacher and native German-speaking teacher for each group.  

The Treehouse curriculum is influenced by the Montessori Method while also preparing children to enter into the Bavarian school system.  Providing a nurturing, caring environment that stimulates the children to become indepent, self-confident, and active learners are top priorities.
