At KinderHaus, our greatest pride is the community we build—not just among teachers and children, but with families who remain connected to us for years. The voices below offer a window into the heart of KinderHaus: the warmth, trust, and growth experienced by our children and their families.
Parent Testimonials
“Kinderhaus is a wonderful school with a great community. The teachers and staff have created an amazing learning environment, rich with German traditions, exciting themes, and a personal focus on each child. We highly recommend it!” — Sinje L.
“We moved to Park Slope because of Kinderhaus. Our son absolutely loves it and adores his teachers. He learns numbers and letters, but also independence and kindness. The teachers cater to each child’s interests and skills. Now his little brother is thriving there too.” — Jana A.
“Our daughter is now in her third year at KinderHaus. We love the focus on language, creativity, and nature. She speaks confidently in German, sings traditional songs, and brings home beautiful artwork. The teachers are loving, communicative, and truly devoted.” — Jen E.
“Neither of us speaks German, but our son has learned to sing, speak, and even translate stories in German! He wakes up saying, ‘I get to go to KinderHaus today!’ We are thrilled with his social and language development.” — Jessica & Ralph
“KinderHaus has been life-changing for our son. Within weeks he was speaking in German sentences. The curriculum sparks imagination, inquiry, and emotional growth. We couldn’t be more grateful.” — Murielle
“The Laternenfest was like nothing we’ve seen—pure magic. We felt so embraced by the community. Our son now reenacts the St. Martin story at home.” — Jean, Ralf & Jasper
Alumni Reflections
Our former families often return to visit, write, and reconnect—proof that KinderHaus is more than a school, it’s a lifelong community.
“I still remember my first day. I was shy, but my teachers made me feel safe. Now I’m in second grade and still sing the songs I learned at KinderHaus!” — Livia, alumna
“KinderHaus gave our daughter confidence, creativity, and a second language. Years later, she still talks about her teachers and the garden where she planted her first seeds.” — Parents of an alum
“When we moved abroad, KinderHaus stayed with us. Our son entered a new school already fluent in German and prepared both socially and academically. It was the best foundation we could have given him.” — Julia & Alex
“As one of the first KinderHaus students, I never imagined how much one day in preschool would shape my future. I was five when a teacher overheard me talking about the stars. The next week, she turned our circle time into a ‘planet day’ and let me point out constellations to my friends using a projector and cut-out planets we made together. That moment, being heard and encouraged, sparked something deep. Today, I’m studying astrophysics at Yale, leading stargazing nights for undergrads, just like I did back then at KinderHaus. Except now, the telescope is a little bigger.” — Lucca, founding student, Class of 2027
