Additional Activities
Dance, Sports and Movement
Once a week all children visit the gym and take advantage of the sports activities run by qualified sports teachers (coordination games, posture, gymnastics, sports equipment). When the weather is nice, we are also able to use the outdoor facilities.
Ballet Lessons
Weekly professional dance or ballet classes are taught in house by an external teacher.
Early Years Musical Education
Every week, children come together to practice their musical skills. Music lessons are either taught by a music teacher and/or another appropriate member of staff.
Puppet Theater Show
At least once a month, we are visited by a puppet master. The performance is not only to entertain the children, but also to support their learning in current topics.
Skiing Lessons
Once a year, we offer a skiing course for children from 4 years old. The children are picked up with the bus in the mornings and driven to a nearby ski resort. The course lasts 4 days and lessons are provided by a ski school.
Football (Soccer)
With the assistance of a Munich Football club, we offer training on our own soccer field.
Hip Hop
Also on offer and very popular, especially with the older ones.
Gymboree
The early musical education for the children is lead by a Gymboree teacher, who visits us weekly. This gives the children the opportunity to play instruments, dance and sing. The unit is run in English. Our colleagues are also in the room and sing and dance with the children. Gymboree improves the development of the child and inspires a love of music, singing, dance, movement and instruments. Through a variety of styles, our music teaching supports the children in discovering the power of rhythm, melody and tone.

Art
An art project takes place each week, which is lead by our specialist. Here our children experiment with paper, pens, paint, paste, clay, natural materials.... The children have the opportunity to discover and let out their creative sides. They find their own design techniques and means of expression and learn to value the artwork of other children.
Singing Lessons
Once a month we get a visit from a trained singer who will teach our children new songs accompanied by rhythmical instruments.
Drama
On a chosen day each week, the children have drama lessons. The drama teachers give the children the opportunity to get into different roles. Through this, they experience an active change of perspective, develop their use of body language, as well as their ability to express themselves through language. At least once a year, a production is put on stage to show the results of the children’s efforts.
Additional Support from Specialists
We work closely with additional specialists such as speech therapists, learning experts or similar, in order to offer your child the full support which is needed for their development.
