Interested in our work? We are happy to offer parents and educators the opportunity to get to know the Montessori-Kinderhaus. You are welcome to spend some time in our house and observe the children.
- Our observation days are Tuesdays and Thursdays in September, October and November, as well as from January to the end of May.
- You can experience free work time in a group of children aged three to six from 8:45 am to 10:30 am. Afterwards, we offer you time and space for a short conversation with one of our educators.
To book an appointment, choose an available date from the list below and send us an email at hospitationen@mkiha.de with your chosen date.

There are also opportunities to serve as a parent representative or on the board.
