Preschool - full-day care with Forest Pedagogy
In our bilingual preschool with Forest Pedagogy, we care for children from the age of 4 to 6.
The languages spoken are English and German, as in normal schools. We are also happy to integrate children who have no previous knowledge of these languages.
According to your professional situation and your personal needs we provide full-day care for your child, or alternatively, part-day care for at least five half-days per week.
With us, every child receives individual support. We take into account the different stages of development and pay special attention to particular aptitudes and talents in our small groups. We attach great value to a very loving homely atmosphere for learning and play. We would like to offer our students a home-from-home during the day.
The bilingual concept is based on an international educational concept known as the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). The IB PYP represents a holistic, humanistic view of mankind. Children are encouraged to ask questions and think conceptually. When they are older, they should be able to perceive the world independently, respectfully and with a thirst for knowledge.
The importance of free play in nature has always been part of our school philosophy and we are outdoors with the children several times a day, regardless of the weather. Forest education is a fixed, important part of our curriculum. Therefore, our children spend half a day a week in the nearby forest, where we have built, together with the parents, a special learning and break station with a "forest sofa" made of branches. In the afternoons, we often go to an idyllic playground nearby or the Rheinfelden city park.
Creativity and development of fine and gross motor skills are stimulated by daily singing, crafts, painting and baking. In addition, the children take part in school performances across ages and levels.
