Our Goals
Our goal is to
comprehensively cultivate the personality of our young students, aiming at
physical, emotional, intellectual and social development. It is important for
children at this stage of their lives to develop their self-esteem, appreciate
the value of cooperation, learn to work in groups and realize their uniqueness
and diversity. Our goal through all this is to equip the children with the
necessary skills and tools so they are able to respond creatively as happy
members to the demands of our society.

Experiential School
Early learning of foreign languages
At Kinderhaus we want to
recognize the importance of early learning of foreign languages and we are very
happy to take the initiative to introduce, in addition to Greek and two foreign
languages in our curriculum, German and English. According to research by linguists,
the best time frame for learning languages is between the ages of three and five.
At this age the brain
develops its structure and the network of neurons. The multifaceted promotion
at this young age enhances the creation of synapses and strengthens the
complete activation of the intellectual potential.
Thus, children who
were raised with more languages are proven to be more flexible and capable of
better performance in comprehension. They can also learn many languages much
more easily than children who were raised with a single language. It is a fact that
in order to achieve significant results, foreign language teaching in early
childhood must be as intense as possible.
At Kinderhaus we apply
the Immersionsansatz system, which has proven to be effective in nursery
schools and kindergarten, selecting different teachers for each language who
will co-exist in the space, so that children can effectively gather in a
trilingual environment, language experiences throughout the day. Children learn
intuitively and experientially through play, songs and stories, German and
English from German and English teachers.

Preschool Music
Children’s contact with
music at a young age is extremely important and at Kinderhaus is a key part of
the curriculum. Children enter the magical world of music using all their
senses and all parts of their body, through exercises and games of music
education of the Dalcroze, Orff, Kodaly and Kindermusik systems. In our facilities
we also host a recording studio, thus having the opportunity to delve deeper in
the field of music education.
