Classes follow the Hessen German School plan for holidays.

For more information regarding these classes, please contact the English Classes Rep.

For those children who attend school, the English classes are considered part of a bilingual programme. As such evaluations are sent to these students’ schools for inclusion in their school reports.

 

Pre-School Group

Our pre-school group meets on Monday afternoons between 2:30pm and 4:30pm. This group is intended for children between the age of 3 and 5, who already have a good understanding of the English language.

The purpose of the group is to encourage the children’s communication and interactive skills in a small group of up to 8 children.

For every session our group leader picks a theme and organizes an activity to match. Quite often these activities are seasonal and the children for example use autumn leaves and chestnuts, or create lovely Christmas decorations.

After this the children have a snack together and can talk about the things they have created. Then they have time to play together, or maybe choose a game. Towards to end of the session a book is read to the children (often matching the theme) and they sing a song together.

The parents do not usually stay for the session, but there is a parent rota system to help the group leader with the preparation of the activities and the handing out of the snacks.

The pre-school group encourages the children to use their English, whilst having fun at the same time. The group meets at Mehrgenerationenhaus at Julius-Reiber-Strasse 22 in Darmstadt.

If you are interested in this group, please contact the group rep for further details.
