    My daughter has been attending SPRUNGBRETT Kindergarten since her third birthday, just over a year ago. From the very beginning, she felt completely at home, shared her thoughts with everyone, and was given time to gradually settle in. Every single day since then, she has happily skipped to the entrance on her own! We feel blessed to know she is so well looked after and supported. She has learned so much this year that aligns with her interests, seemingly without even noticing. Currently, she's learning to tell the time. A huge thank you to the wonderful team!

    I just saw the SRF report about your school. It's wonderful how you interact with the children and support them in doing something good. Keep it up!
