Join our international community of families who have chosen our immersive German or Spanish immersion program!

Our Approach to Language Immersion and Acquisition

At GSB Preschool, bilingualism is at the heart of our program. Families can choose between the German or Spanish language track for their child’s bilingual journey. Our immersive approach to language acquisition is designed to support children’s path toward fluency in both English and their chosen second language, whether German or Spanish.

No prior knowledge or exposure to German or Spanish is necessary to join GSB Preschool.

Welcome to GSB Preschool, where young minds flourish in a nurturing, bilingual environment.

Tailored for children aged 3 to 5, our preschool combines the principles of Montessori education with language immersion. Families may choose between two language tracks: German or Spanish immersion. The Montessori principles embedded within our curriculum and classroom environment include:

Practical life: Using everyday materials to foster the development of motor skills, concentration, independence, and care for oneself and the environment.

Sensory: Exploration of colors, shapes, textures, size, and our five senses to develop skills that lay the foundation for mathematical and scientific understanding.

Mathematics: Developing a sense of numbers, quantities, counting, addition, subtraction, and problem-solving through the free use of manipulatives.

Language: Being immersed in oral language, printed materials, songs and rhymes, and playfully engaging with vocabulary, phonics, letter formation, and other early literacy skills.

Culture: Fostering curiosity about the social and natural world, alongside an appreciation for diversity, and a larger understanding of the world through stories, discussions, and experiments.
