Die Rasselbande

Teachers are all German speaking & really care for the students. The class size is small to make every child feel like it’s home away from home. With the fun infusion of German into all crafts & projects you get more out of birthdays, holidays & the seasons. Once you are here you’ll want to stay :-)

This is a gem of a school. In addition to providing children with the opportunity to learn a second language and culture, it is a preschool that puts children’s play first. The teachers are all first rate, many of them formally educated in preschool education in Germany, and all of them respect the children in their class and provide a warm and nurturing place to learn.
The grounds are clean and safe with a large playground for bigger kids and a smaller playground for the younger kids. There is a large grassy area for getting the wiggles out as well. Each day consists of songs, crafts, listening to stories, and free play. The classrooms are outfitted with all of the items needed for imaginative play and are full of puzzles, games, toys, and reading corners. Parent involvement is welcomed and encouraged.
The school celebrates the traditional Germany events: St. Martin’s, Christmas, Easter, but of course there are lots of American crafts for Halloween and Mother’s Day that go home as well!
A snack is provided, always healthy, and the kids are expected to sit together as a classroom community and eat. A warm lunch is also available on most days prepared lovingly by a professional German chef!
My two boys have enjoyed their experiences here and never have I doubted the care and love that they would get in their days at Die Rasselbande!

Our family has been extremely happy with our experience at Die Rasselbande. We are a non-​German speaking home, and both of our children easily adjusted to the school and are speaking German! The teachers are all warm, caring, and energetic. There is a real sense of community among the families and school, with lots of opportunities to become involved as a parent.
The classrooms all have a variety of toys, games, puzzles, and learning activities, and the outdoor area is fantastic… a large grassy field, two play grounds, asphalt for bike riding, and lots of sand.
Our children look forward to going to school every day!
