Daily Schedule

At Kinderstube we strive to provide a multitude of activities that allow the children to explore their world around them with all their senses. We spend our days singing songs, painting pictures, counting things, doing yoga, learning to be a good friend, running outside, listening to instruments, sculpting creations, cooking something tasty, practicing how to clean up after ourselves, going on field trips, dancing in the Ballroom, playing with our friends, reading stories, walking through fallen leaves, observing an animal, baking German cookies, performing at family events, making friends,  giving hugs, building snowmen, using our manners, writing our name, taking naps, helping someone, celebrating special days, and welcoming new friends. 
...And we do it all in German!
