The PreK/K class is designed for children ages 3-5, generally a mixture of foreign language learners and German heritage speakers.

The Kindergarten classroom teacher is generally assisted by an instructional aide.

- Native-like fluency in German (both written and spoken) and solid knowledge of the culture of German-speaking countries

- Ability to work independently and as member of a team
- Teaching experience a plus
- Authorization to work in the US
