I love the program! It gave my little one the tools to prepare him to Kinderschule and Elementary.He really enjoyed his time there and the teachers were always amazing!The classes are small, allowing teachers to work with our little ones hands on.I truly recommend and see the value of this program.

Wonderful preschool! Two of my children have gone to this preschool for two years each. They both learned so much and adored their teachers as well as made many friends. When my other two children are old enough I will be sending them here as well!

The DKK Preschool Program is amazing. The teachers are very friendly, fun and have distilled a love for school in my son. The class sizes are also great. Would definitely recommend this school to others.

Die Kleine Kinderschule is a warm, welcoming, joyful and caring preschool. The teaching staff is excellent, they nurture students from their first day of “school” to the day they graduate and move on to kindergarten. There are many field trips, fun crafts, a library of German and English books, engaging toys and gym and outdoor time. The preschool is in Rio Terrace school and the transition from Preschool into Kindergarten is made so much easier because of that. I highly recommend the program!
