KINDERFEST RETURNS! - Saturday, March 20th, 10 AM - Noon Kinderfest is full for March 20th. Please call to be added to the wait list, or if you have to cancel. Others are waiting for your spot!
For the third year we
are bringing our successful Kinderfest program to preschoolers and
their families. This is a chance for parents to see if a language
immersion program is right for their child. Kinderfest is a a two hour
Saturday "Kindergarten" class where you and your child will have a real
Kindergarten immersion experience taught by one of our Kindergarten
German teachers. For 2009-2010, the dates of our Kinderfests are
December 5th 2009, January 9th, February 6th, and March 20th, 2010. The class runs from 10 am to noon, and ends with a tour of
our school.
If you would like to register your child for one of the classes, please call our front desk at 742-7455 or send us an email at info@rilkeschule.org
and we will be happy to sign you up. Due to the classes' popularity, we
ask that you only sign your child up for one class, and you please call
and cancel if you cannot attend, as we usually have a waiting list.
Feel free to print out our Kinderfest Flyer and give to anyone who might be intereseted.
