About Us
Die Kleine Kinderschule (”DKK”) is a registered non-profit society registered under the Alberta Societies Act.
DKK is a member of AEGBEE (Association for English-German Bilingual Education of Edmonton) and as such is a feeder into the German Bilingual Kindergarten and Grade School system at the Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB). Although classroom space is leased from the EPSB, DKK is not affiliated with the EPSB. The DKK Executive Board consists of parent volunteers who are elected at the Annual General Meeting in May.
DKK is given a license to operate by Alberta Social Services and is recertified by Social Services on a yearly basis. The safety and well-being of the children attending DKK is the first priority. All teachers and teacher’s assistants are qualified in first aid.
DKK is funded primarily by monthly fees supplemented by fundraising (see Fees section for more information). Donations of time, money, toys or equipment are always greatly appreciated.
DKK has been approved to participate in the Stay at Home Parent Subsidy Program.

Please note: The final decision for approval of applications is made ONLY by Child & Family Services. DKK and its Executive have no decision in the approval or rejection of submitted applications.
