ABOUT JACOB'S KINDERGARTEN
JACOB'S KINDERGARTEN
We offer high-quality care in a safe and stimulating environment where our professional and understanding staff always keep the needs of the child at the centre of their work. At Kindis we combine the best practices of a kindergarten with the added benefits of developing multilingual children. Children learn languages best by experiencing it naturally, by being immersed in it. No previous knowledge of English is necessary. By tying language to our broad range of daily activities and by using it as our working language we can ensure that the children absorb it effortlessly and that their vocabulary is constantly expanding. The kindergarten was founded in 1996, by parents who wanted to give their children the opportunity to learn English from an early age.
