Early childhood support

We are pioneers in early childhood language development, having introduced this focus to our childcare programme in 2002. Because the first years of a child's development are particularly important for later educational success, we place a special emphasis on language skills. Our trained childhood development professional and childcare team will help your child learn High German using language-focused individual and group activities, and they will help prepare your child for kindergarten.

We place great importance on every child's physical development, health and well-being. of every child are important to us. In childcare, we playfully teach the basics of healthy eating, exercise and dental and personal hygiene. The snacks are sugar-free. We consider fun, physical activities and healthy food to be fundamental for the healthy development of your child.

Suddenly living in a new, foreign environment can be stressful! Are you worried that your child is having trouble adjusting? Is your child suffering because of past traumatic experiences? K5’s childcare team has considerable experience helping children get accustomed to their new circumstances. In addition, our childcare team regularly attends training events on processing trauma and we can call in a trauma specialist as needed.

We will take your child on outings to the forest, the zoo, the park or simply outside to our garden–rain or shine! One of our groups goes outside every day. And K5 has enough rain gear and warm clothing to ensure that your child will be prepared for any kind of weather. On these outings, your child will get plenty of fresh air and exercise, explore nature and even get to know the area better.
