Enrollment Procedure

Welcome to Bay Area Kinderstube. We welcome your interest in our school.

Newly enrolled children start at the beginning of each school year (next year, August 14th, 2024). At the time the new school year commences, the child must be at least 2.5 years old. Application forms are due January 31st of that same year. (Please visit the application form tab to download the application.)

Enrollment takes place in February. During that time period, all families in our application pool list will be contacted by our director. Please be aware that due to our small program, we have very limited spaces available each year. The selection of new students is at the school's discretion. Preference is given to returning families or children of BAKS staff. Other criteria are German language skills, age, general fit, and desired schedule.
