Portland Kinderschule offers a complete German language-immersion preschool experience for children ages three (3) to five (5) years and who are potty trained. In certain circumstances, children younger than three may be accepted with approval of our teachers and school Board of Directors.

We operate our regular co-operative preschool program from September through June, following the Portland Public School calendar. We are open Monday through Friday, 9am-1pm. Our children may attend 3, 4, or 5 days a week, depending on availability.

In order to keep up with the language skills of other children in the classroom, we require all students to register for a minimum of three days of preschool per week.  Families are given the ability to select which days they prefer but may be limited based on classroom space availability.
