Daycare & After-School Care
Our goal is to support the children’s development and prepare them for kindergarten, while providing guidance along their continued journey. Child-friendly development support and promotion, as well as bilingualism, are professionally implemented with us.
"Trees need roots, as every child knows. And a small tree can grow and thrive all the better the stronger its roots are, through which it anchors itself in the soil and absorbs its nutrients. Only when a small tree manages to develop deep roots will it later be able to withstand wind and weather, even storms."
— Dr. Karl Gebauer

Our reviews
Both my son and my daughter enjoyed attending nursery and preschool at Hands-On Kids very much. They remember well all the fun indoor and outdoor activities they took part in, as well as the many handicrafts they would bring home. HOK was an excellent support for their bilingual upbringing as it provided them with the opportunity to use English outside the home. I very much appreciated the friendly, caring and warm approach shown by all the professional staff at HOK towards the children. So I can highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to offer his/her children a great start to their education in a bilingual setting.
We really like the family atmosphere and the flexibility of the childcare times (for irregular, extraordinary appointments). Creativity is also very important! The children are stimulated every day by the many craft ideas. The craft sequences always generate creative ideas. We still have some HOK handicrafts hanging in our house today. We still think HOK is great and are happy to have chosen your daycare center!
Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit der Kita Hands for Kids. Unsere Kinder gingen immer gerne hin und fühlten sich wohl. Besonders schätzten wir die liebevolle Betreuung, das abwechslungsreiche Programm, die stabile Teamstruktur und die Flexibilität bei Tagestausch oder Krankheitsfällen. Die frisch zubereiteten Mahlzeiten und der nahegelegene Garten, wo die Kinder pflanzen und ernten können, sind weitere Highlights.
