How We Grow

Our Early Childhood Education program provides a nurturing, bilingual environment where curiosity, creativity and confidence can flourish. From the first steps in Nursery to the growing independence of our Early Years children, we focus on developing the whole child – emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
Guided by caring educators and inspired learning spaces, our youngest learners begin a joyful journey of discovery in both German and English.

A Joyful Start to Learning

Our Kindergarten provides a nurturing, bilingual environment where young learners explore the world through curiosity, creativity and care.

Guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, we support each child’s growth across academic, social, and emotional domains – building a strong foundation for future learning. Through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships, children develop confidence, curiosity and a love for learning that prepares them for a smooth transition into Primary School and beyond. Every day  is an opportunity to discover, grow and thrive.

The result: Independent, motivated learners who love coming to kindergarten.

Nurturing Emotional & Social Growth

Social-Emotional Development
Relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Through play, group interaction, and guided reflection, children learn empathy, collaboration, and self-regulation.
Our Second Step Program (EY2–EY3) provides structured opportunities for emotional awareness, helping children express their feelings, make friends, and develop resilience.

Building a Sense of Belonging
Every child feels seen, heard, and valued in our learning community. By fostering kindness and connection, we create a foundation for both well-being and learning.

Parents value: Seeing their child grow into a confident, empathetic and resilient learner.

A Truly Bilingual Kindergarten (German & English)

Language learning at LIS happens naturally and effortlessly. Through play, stories, songs, and daily interaction, children develop fluency in both German and English, gaining a powerful advantage for their future education — without pressure, just joy.

Why parents love it: Children communicate confidently in two languages while learning in a relaxed, nurturing environment.

Developing Core Skills

EYFS Early Learning Goals
Our program supports development across key learning areas, including literacy, numeracy, physical coordination, and personal growth. These goals form a bridge to the structured learning of Primary School while maintaining the joy and creativity of early childhood.

Literacy and Mathematics
Our Read Write Inc. Phonics program (EY3) introduces children to reading and writing in playful, structured ways aligned with the Primary curriculum.
In Mathematics (EY1–EY3), children explore number concepts through hands-on, real-world experiences — measuring, sorting, building, and discovering patterns in their environment.

Families often highlight: Children are prepared not just for school, but for life.

Inspiring Inquiry & Imagination

Inquiry-Based Learning
Children are natural explorers. Our Inquiry-Based Approach (Units of Inquiry) nurtures their curiosity and independence. Educators design open-ended experiences that encourage children to ask questions, investigate ideas, and make discoveries through hands-on exploration.

Child-Led Interests
Learning is most powerful when it begins with the child’s own interests. Our educators follow children’s curiosity – transforming play into purposeful learning moments that build confidence and spark lifelong enthusiasm.

Parents appreciate: A balance of structure and freedom – learning that feels joyful, not forced.

Inviting Spaces Designed for Young Learners

Our beautifully designed campus offers everything young children need to thrive:

  • Spacious outdoor play areas

  • Library and creative learning spaces

  • Indoor gym, music and art rooms

  • Swimming lessons in EY2

Every space invites exploration, imagination, and joyful movement — because children learn best when they feel free and inspired.

A Seamless Path to Primary School

LIS Kindergarten is the first step in a coherent learning journey. Through close connections with LIS Primary School, children transition smoothly and confidently – already familiar with the environment, language and learning culture.

Our shared activities and events include:

  • Reading Buddies (EY3) – connecting young readers with Primary students

  • Holiday Hort (EY3) – introducing children to the Primary setting during summer break

  • Sports Day & Step-Up Days – Primary learners connect with our Early Years children

  • Service Days – fostering empathy and community involvement

These experiences build familiarity, confidence, and a sense of belonging across the school.
