At the heart of everything we do is our Kindervilla Child Protection Concept.
The physical and emotional safety of every child is our highest priority at all times. We are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment in which children can thrive. Through continuous reflection, open communication, and ongoing development, we actively work to identify risks and prevent harm. From the very beginning, children learn about their rights and are supported in expressing and living them. Together, we create a place where every child feels protected, valued, and truly seen.

Life at Kindervilla is filled not only with laughter and joyful energy, but also with a rich variety of daily changing activities and special events that accompany our children throughout the year.

Alongside our core learning sessions — ABC, Math, Sports, We Care, and Special Project Time — children have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of additional activities and clubs that enrich their everyday experience at Kindervilla.

Excursions Around Stuttgart
Our excursions take children to many exciting places outside the Kindervilla houses! They explore nearby parks, discover the forests through the changing seasons, visit the local weekly market or library, or simply enjoy the adventure of riding the subway — which is often a highlight in itself. Each of these little journeys gives our young explorers the opportunity to discover the world around them, bringing learning to life in a fun and engaging way.

Proven & Comprehensive Preschool Program
In their final year at kindergarten, we provide our preschool children with particularly focused support to prepare them for a successful start to school. Beyond playful practice with letters and numbers, we place great emphasis on helping children develop emotional readiness for this important milestone.
Topics such as road safety, packing their eagerly awaited school bag, and learning classroom rules are combined with exciting preschool excursions and creative activities for our “big kids.” Throughout, we keep each child’s individual needs in mind, offering attentive and tailored guidance to ensure a confident, secure, and joyful transition into school life.

Early Music Education
In our music lessons, children discover the joy of rhythm, melody, and musical expression in a playful way. Through singing together, exploring different instruments, and moving to the music, we help develop their listening skills, coordination, and creativity.
The lessons provide space for children to explore sounds, express themselves, and experience the special magic of making music together.

Piano Lessons
Our experienced piano teacher guides children with care and enthusiasm as they explore the world of music and piano playing. In individually tailored one-on-one lessons, children not only learn the fundamental techniques of playing the piano, but also discover their first melodies, develop a sense of rhythm, and experience the unique joy of creating music themselves.

Guitar with Esther
In Guitar with Esther, our children are playfully introduced to the guitar by professional singer and guitarist Esther from the Netherlands. With passion, experience, and musical joy, she teaches the fundamentals of the instrument and encourages children to explore it with curiosity. As an active musician who regularly performs concerts and releases her own songs, Esther shares her love for music authentically, creating an inspiring space where children can experience music, experiment, and develop their own creativity.

Dance
In our Dance program, children discover the joy of movement, music, and creative expression through dance. To energizing beats and a wide variety of music, they learn to become aware of their own bodies, move rhythmically, and develop a sense of timing and flow.
In age-appropriate and lovingly designed classes, body awareness, coordination, and creativity are playfully encouraged — always with plenty of room for fun, self-expression, and the joy of moving freely to music.

Kung-Fu Pandas
In our Kung Fu Pandas classes, the experienced trainers from Blackbelt Academy come directly to our Kindervilla houses, bringing energy and enthusiasm as they introduce children to the world of Kung Fu in a playful way. Children learn to become aware of their own bodies, develop flexibility and coordination, and practice with focus and joy.
Over time, they can demonstrate their progress and earn different belt levels in a variety of colors. In this way, movement, discipline, and fun come together to create a truly special learning experience.

Ballet Lessons by Ballet School Seeger
In our ballet classes, children step into the world of classical ballet. Under the guidance of Mrs. Seeger, an experienced ballet teacher who runs her own ballet school, they learn the essential foundations of this beautiful art form — from posture and footwork to their first graceful movement sequences.
The traditional ballet style is an important part of the experience: wearing ballet slippers and classic ballet attire, the children immerse themselves in the special atmosphere of ballet and develop a sense of discipline, expression, and body control. Balance, coordination, and body awareness are carefully nurtured in a warm and encouraging environment that allows every child to express themselves with pride, grace, and joy.

Kids Yoga with YogiKids
For our yoga sessions, our wonderful yoga teacher Carolin visits our Kindervilla houses and guides the children through each class with warmth, creativity, and care. She weaves in themes from the seasons and special events, using candles, singing bowls, and handmade materials to make every session a truly special experience.
Through playful practice, children learn to slow down, find calm, and feel comfortable in their own bodies. The sessions nurture mindfulness, body awareness, and inner balance — all while being great fun.

Swimming Lessons
We offer regular swimming lessons for our older children. Our educators safely accompany the children to the swimming pool, where they are taught by qualified swimming instructors.
In the classes, children not only learn the basic skills of swimming but, most importantly, gain confidence and a sense of safety in the water. At the same time, they develop a love for movement in the water and gradually improve their technique. The lessons support coordination and self-confidence in a safe and encouraging environment.

Chess
In our chess classes, children explore the world of chess in a playful and engaging way. Guided by our experienced teacher Ge, they learn about the pieces, the rules, and their first strategies — while strengthening concentration, problem-solving skills, and creative thinking. The children experience the game as an exciting challenge, develop social skills through playing together with friends, and above all enjoy discovering and trying out new ideas with lots of fun.

Tennis Club
In our Tennis Club program, children have the opportunity to discover the exciting world of tennis. During the summer season, they travel together with our educators to TC Weissenhof e.V., where they can experience their first tennis sessions on a real tennis court.
In age-appropriate trial lessons, the children are introduced to basic movements, the use of racket and ball, and simple game sequences in a playful way. The focus is on joy in movement, coordination, concentration and the shared experience. The Tennis Club gives children a wonderful opportunity to explore a new sport, build confidence in their abilities and enjoy being active.

Literacy Program
In our literacy program, children discover the joy of reading in a playful and engaging way. Each session focuses on a selected book: we read together, discuss the story, and explore it through activities that bring the book to life.
This approach fosters language skills, imagination, and a love of books in a fun and creative way.

Cooking Club
In our Cooking Club, children become little chefs and discover the joy of preparing food together. They plan simple, healthy recipes, create shopping lists, and then work as a team to prepare their dishes.
Along the way, they get to know fresh ingredients with all their senses – seeing, smelling, touching and tasting how food changes as it is prepared. The children learn important everyday skills such as safe cutting, hygiene in the kitchen, weighing and measuring ingredients, and how to handle kitchen tools responsibly. At the end, they proudly enjoy the meal they have created themselves – gaining new experiences, building confidence and a real sense of achievement. The Cooking Club not only strengthens independence and practical life skills, but also inspires children to take part in cooking and helping out in the kitchen at home.

Thinking Lab
In our Thinking Lab sessions, children explore the world of science in a playful and engaging way. They carry out exciting experiments, try out new ideas, and discover scientific concepts creatively.
Children are encouraged to observe, investigate, ask questions, and test their own ideas, all within a safe and supportive environment. Thinking Lab sessions foster curiosity, critical thinking, and the joy of exploring the world with all their senses.

Visit from Our Children’s Hairdresser
With our hairdresser Bettina, getting a haircut becomes a relaxed and enjoyable experience for our children. The little ones feel comfortable and safe while receiving a fresh haircut in the familiar surroundings of Kindervilla.
Each appointment is a special moment where children not only leave feeling great about themselves but also enjoy positive, confidence-boosting experiences.

We love to celebrate and find many opportunities throughout the year to do so. Our focus is not on the religious background of individual events, but on togetherness and the shared experience of cultural diversity.

Birthdays
Every child looks forward to this special day, and at Kindervilla, birthdays are celebrated in a very special way. We have cherished traditions, such as a festively decorated birthday table, a handmade crown, and singing together, enjoying cake, and opening presents.
This creates wonderful memories for the birthday child and the whole group.

Carnival Party
Our Carnival party is a truly special experience. In the days leading up to it, we create festive decorations together, and everyone looks forward to the imaginative costumes of the children and the team.
On the day itself, the fun continues with dance parties, carnival games, and creative crafts. Our traditional costume catwalk and the colorful carnival breakfast buffet make this event unforgettable.

Easter Party
At our Easter celebration, we don’t just enjoy the traditional Easter egg hunt with our handmade baskets. We also welcome the arrival of spring and kick off the new season with colorful activities and creative projects.

Forest Week
During our Forest Week, we explore the wonders of nature together in a playful and hands-on way. On excursions into the forest, through outdoor activities, and small discovery projects, children learn about forest animals, the changing seasons, and the rich diversity of our natural environment.
Forest Week provides the opportunity to connect with nature, observe the world around us, and experience the magic of learning outside the classroom. Throughout, children are gently guided to develop respect for nature and an understanding of the importance of plants and animals.

Sports Week
During our annual Sports Week, children enjoy a wide variety of active games, exciting challenges, and movement activities that promote coordination, teamwork, and a love for staying active.
Each day is filled with playful exercises, friendly competitions, and opportunities to try new things The week concludes with a big celebration, where every child is recognized for their participation and effort.

Preschool Sleepover
As a special finale to their time at kindergarten, our preschool children look forward to a very special tradition: the preschool sleepover! On this exciting evening, the children enjoy fun and adventures together at Kindervilla.
They play engaging group games, make their own pizza, and then settle in for a cozy movie night in pajamas with popcorn. Afterwards, everyone snuggles into their sleeping bags — for many, it may be the first night away from home. Our team is there the whole time, making sure each child feels safe, happy, and completely at home in this magical evening of fun and togetherness.

Summer Water Parties
On hot summer days, our garden turns into a lively pool party! At our Summer Water Parties, children come in their swimsuits and can splash, play, and cool off with sprinklers, paddling pools, and all kinds of fun water games.
With upbeat summer hits and a variety of outdoor games, they dance, splash, and play until everyone has a big smile on their face. Every now and then, a sweet treat like a delicious ice cream adds the perfect finishing touch to a warm summer day. These parties bring carefree summer vibes right into the kindergarten: full of movement, laughter, water, music, and pure summer joy.

Summer Camp
Who doesn’t dream of an exciting summer adventure with friends?
At our Summer Camp, children spend fun-filled summer days together, full of movement, creative activities, and joyful experiences that energize both body and mind. Whether playing games outdoors, working on collaborative projects, or going on little discovery adventures, each day is packed with laughter, new experiences, and the occasional scoop of ice cream.
It’s a time for making friendships and creating memories that will last long after summer ends.

Dirndl & Lederhosen Party
Our Dirndl & Lederhosen Party brings the spirit of autumn and Bavarian traditions straight to Kindervilla! Children and staff dress in traditional outfits, celebrate together, and enjoy a hearty Weißwurst breakfast.
Traditional games, lively music, dancing, and decorating classic gingerbread hearts complete the festive fun.

Halloween Party
Our Halloween party is an exciting day full of fun, spooky thrills, and creativity. Children and staff show off their imaginative costumes and go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, visiting not only other Kindervilla houses but also some local families.
A deliciously spooky breakfast buffet and themed games help set the perfect Halloween mood for the day.

The weeks leading up to Christmas are a truly magical time, especially for children. In our Kindervilla houses, the festive spirit fills the air, making this season extra special. With lights, scents, music, and shared traditions, children experience the Advent season with all their senses.

Advent Circle
During the Advent season, we gather daily for our Advent Circle. Around the decorated Advent wreath, candles are lit, Christmas songs are sung, and a little bag from the Advent calendar is opened with excitement.
These calm, recurring moments give the children a sense of security and help them feel the anticipation and magic of the Christmas season.

Visit from St. Nicholas
A special highlight is the visit from St. Nicholas to each house. Carrying a large sack filled with children’s stuffed Nikolaus socks, he surprises the little ones, who sing a song together as a thank-you. It’s a magical moment that lights up the children’s eyes.

Christmas Bakery
In our Christmas Bakery, children spend a Saturday together at the kindergarten, joyfully baking delicious cookies. Meanwhile, parents have some time for themselves — a little Christmas gift from Kindervilla. Whether finishing last-minute holiday errands, enjoying a cozy stroll through the Christmas market, or taking a short break with a warm cup of punch, parents can relax and enjoy a well-deserved moment of peace.
This makes the Christmas season at Kindervilla a loving, communal, and unforgettable experience before everyone heads off for the holidays.

We not only love celebrating our many events, but also the opportunity to share some of them together with our children’s families. We believe that children thrive best when families and educators work closely together.
Our approach to cooperation invites parents to actively take part in learning experiences, creative projects, and special events throughout the year.

Coffee Mornings
At our cozy Coffee Mornings, one thing takes center stage: children get to bring their parents along for a morning in their kindergarten day, showing them their daily rituals, favorite activities, and the lively buzz of Kindervilla.
Over a cup of coffee or tea, families and staff have the chance to connect, share experiences, and gain insights into the children’s development. The Coffee Morning becomes a valuable moment of togetherness for children, parents, and our team alike.

Movie Night
Each year, our teams follow the children with a camera over a period of time, capturing many small and big moments from their daily life at kindergarten. From this, a unique film is created for each house under the theme “A Day at Kindervilla.”
At our Movie Night, all families enjoy the film together — complete with popcorn and everything that makes a real cinema experience. Parents gain very personal and valuable insights into their child’s daily life, while the children beam with pride as they see themselves and their friends on the big screen. It’s an evening full of emotion, connection, and shared memories.

Summer Festival – The Party of the Year!
Our Summer Festival is the highlight of the year! On this special Saturday towards the end of the kindergarten year, all houses come together to celebrate a joyful, colorful, and festive day.
In the bright summer sunshine, we enjoy a delicious BBQ, a variety of engaging activity stations for the children, and plenty of time to relax, chat, and simply enjoy the day. Our Summer Festival is all about togetherness, good conversation, and the joy of summer — a day everyone looks forward to each year.

School Cone Crafting
As the kindergarten years come to a close and the first day of school approaches, a very special event awaits. A cherished and unifying tradition is our creative crafting afternoon, where our preschool children design their very own school cones together with their parents.
Our teams provide a wide range of colorful materials and guide the afternoon, but the focus is on the shared experience: children, parents, and educators create the school cones together and lovingly prepare the children for the exciting start of school.
This not only results in a unique, personalized work of art, but also creates a precious moment of togetherness and anticipation for the first day of school.

The Big Kindergarten Send-Off
Together with the families, we celebrate our preschoolers’ exciting step into school with our big “Off to School” party. The day is full of excitement, pride, and joy, making this important milestone an unforgettable experience for every child. Each child is personally celebrated and then playfully “tossed” onto a soft mat by the educators — a safe, fun, and memorable way to mark the end of their kindergarten years. With this playful ritual, the children carry with them the feeling of leaving kindergarten well-prepared and ready for their next big adventure: school.

Lantern Crafting & Lantern Walk
Our Lantern Festival is made up of two very special events: on a parents’ afternoon, children craft colorful lanterns together with their families — a wonderful opportunity to be creative and spend quality time together.
Then, around St. Martin’s Day, we hold our annual Lantern Walk. Families parade through the neighborhood, accompanied by music, singing traditional lantern songs, and proudly displaying their glowing creations. Afterwards, everyone gathers for a cozy outdoor get-together with warm drinks and tasty treats, celebrating the season together.
