DerDieDas KiGa

KiGa is a German language playgroup for children aged 3 - 5 years. The program is facilitated by a qualified kindergarten teacher who is also a German native speaker.

To maximise the immersive learning experience, supporting parents are expected to take an active role in engaging with the children and activities. Parents/ carers can bring younger siblings when attending.

 The program first and foremost aims to offer German-speaking children the opportunity to make friends with like-minded peers while getting exposed to the German language and culture outside of their own home. Each term children learn about a different topic through group activities such as a morning circle, German songs, stories, games and artwork.

To be accepted in the program, children must understand and be able to follow all instructions in German. This is determined in a trial session.
