Montessori Kinderhaus am Wannsee offers high quality early development in a multicultural Setting. Up to 30 kids are taken care of from 8am to 5pm. Welcomed are children from 2 years up to primary school age from different cultures; the group operates bilingually in English and German. Due to its location, the nature plays a big role in the daily life of the kindergarten and children are taught to treat the environment well. Children and teachers have a close relationship characterized by trust, shared experiences, and intensive communication.
