Our Düsseldorf kindergarten location has a new modern building and at this location we prepare around 100 children from the age of three for primary school in a multilingual environment. The kindergarten children are taught according to the same academic program as in our kindergarten in Neuss, making the transition to the ISR Primary School easier for the children.
The groups in our kindergarten are divided according to age. In this way, our highly qualified Early Years Educators, as well as the Early Years Assistants, can optimally address the needs of each individual child. The kindergarten in Düsseldorf-Niederkassel is open almost all year round, offering the children an enriching academic program as well as numerous opportunities for development through afternoon activities. The extended care hours offer families the opportunity to flexibly arrange their daily schedule while knowing their child is in the best hands.
We offer an enriching academic-based program with lessons in English, Math, and German where children can learn in a joyful way and can take the first steps toward developing reading and writing skills. Our preschool curriculum is a flexible program tailored to the needs of each child.
