German Immersion Preschool
Kinderstube Program Update
Kinderstube preschool is currently on pause as we work to restructure the program as a morning-only model. Our goal is to reopen in January 2027, contingent on meeting minimum enrollment and securing sufficient staffing.
About Us
Our German Immersion Preschool Kinderstube is designed to combine elements of both the modern German Kindergarten and the American preschool. Our preschool program is located in St. Paul. Kinderstube is a fully licensed preschool program by the State of Minnesota for children who are of the age 3 to 5 years old.
Our pedagogy nurtures the development of cognitive, physical, creative, and social-emotional skills, complemented by the acquisition of vocabulary, grammar, and cultural knowledge related to German-speaking countries. Through our total immersion approach, Kinderstube offers a curriculum that is fun, authentic, meaningful, interesting, and engaging, which helps children expand their identities and their access to the world through the German language. Our teachers respect and prioritize young children and their needs as active and curious explorers of knowledge. Our Kinderstube is proud to be parent-aware rated, demonstrating high-quality practices in our classroom.

“We are so thankful that our daughter spent her preschool years at Kinderstube! The children learn German naturally because they feel so welcome, comfortable and encouraged to explore and try new things.”
