Our bilingual kindergarten Joki Johanneskirchen

Overview

Joki Johanneskirchen is conveniently reached by public transportation (S8 Train Stop) while still being in the quiet setting of the ground and first floor in the courtyard of a small office and business complex with a pharmacy, bakery, etc. Allgroup- and sleeping rooms are facing the back of the building, all with a view of the mature trees that surround our generous green space of ca. 1000qm. The playground with toys suitable for young children and sandboxes is used exclusively by Joki. The children, under supervision, can experience nature first hand in our adventure forrest. We explore the surrounding playgrounds and fields on our little trips.

The tasteful decorations and large wardrobe room contribute to the special atmosphere. All rooms are modern, bright and are filled with high quality furnishings. Every group has its own group room and a separate sleeping room, which may also be used as a multi-purpose room. We also have a little gymnasium in which we play movement and dancing games.

Bilingual care from the beginning: Alongside our German speaking carers, the kindergarten group will normally have an English speaking carer who will introduce the children to their language and culture through fun and games. Using the Immersion method, our native speakers speak with the children solely in their mother tongue. The aim is not to teach the children a language in a school-like way, but rather that they should come into contact with a foreign language, songs and games.

Our cook, specially trained by Joki, prepares all meals daily so they are fresh and fitting to the ages of the children. For that reason, it is unnecessary to pack a snack for your children. The menu is adjusted for children with allergies.

Impressions

Bilingual group

Joki offers an exceptionally high staff to child ratio. In each group 3-4 carers look after 25 children from the age of 3 until they start school.

Through this the intercultural competence of the children is encouraged, which prepares them for a globalised world. Additionally their brains will be trained according to well-founded scientific findings without any pressure of a particularly intensive form. A high mental flexibility results all the more, the earlier and more consistently the child finds itself in a multilingual environment. You can find further information at www.fmks-online.de.
