HOW WE
WORK

At Baobab, we accompany children in a mixed-age group with respect, trust, and a carefully prepared environment. Our focus is on fostering independence, peaceful coexistence, each child’s individual pace of development, and a trusting partnership with families.

Montessori Pedagogy

Maria Montessori’s guiding principle, “Help me to do it myself,” shapes  our everyday life and approach.  The prepared environment provides guidance, security, and room  to grow.

Bilingualism

Our shared languages are German and English. Through our bilingual approach, children experience both languages naturally as part of their everyday lives.

OUR BELIEF:

We believe that when children are guided with RESPECT, FREEDOM
and TRUST they grow into peaceful, confident, and compassionate individuals.

Montessori Pedagogy

Montessori education recognises each child as an individual and supports them at their own pace of development.

Experienced
Montessori Team

A longstanding, stable team with extensive international Montessori qualifications and a wealth of experience in supporting each child’s individual development.

Bilingualism

Our languages are German and English. Our educators speak to the children in their respective native languages.

Ages 3–6 years

We work with a small group of no more than 19 children aged 3 to 6, supported by an excellent staff-to-child ratio.

Intercultural
Community

Our families from around the world—Australia, the USA, the Netherlands, the UK, Egypt, Rwanda, Italy, and India—form a truly international community.

Parent initiative
since 1996

We are a member of KKT e.V., the association of parent-led childcare initiatives in Munich.

Testimonials

HEIDI VILSMEIER, 2020

»Unsere Tochter besucht seit September 2019 den Kindergarten Baobab und geht seit der ersten Minute sehr gerne dorthin. Die Eingewöhnung verlief reibungslos. Es ist ein kleiner Kindergarten mit einem Außenspielbereich, der täglich genutzt wird. Besonders gefällt uns die multikulturelle Gemeinschaft der Familien, die vielen zweisprachigen Kinder und die englischsprachigen Erzieherinnen. Die Kombination aus ruhiger Montessori-Pädagogik mit abwechslungsreichen Themen, Musik und viel Spielzeit im Freien ist perfekt für unsere Tochter.«

»Unser Sohn erzählt immer noch viel von seiner Kindergartenzeit bei Baobab und den vielen schönen Erlebnissen dort. Er profitiert jetzt in der Schule sehr von dem Montessori Konzept des Kindergartens und der tollen Umsetzung durch die Erzieherinnen. Die Internationalität des Kindergartens empfanden wir für uns und unseren Sohn sehr bereichernd. Wir hatten alle zusammen eine intensive und wunderbare Zeit bei Baobab.«
