Our history

The concept of “Infanterix – multilingual childcare centres“ originated from numerous discussions with French, English, Chinese and German parents who anticipated impending international relocations due to work. They wanted their children to be well prepared to adapt to the new languages they would encounter in their new living environments. Recent scientific findings support this concept: according to these findings, children who have been consistently exposed to other linguistic systems in early childhood, adapt more successfully to new languages.

By employing native speakers as teachers and educators who, due to their training in their respective countries, are able to share a vast knowledge of differing educational approaches, the concept of multilingual and multicultural education has been met by all Infanterix facilities. The requirements arose from discussions in professional circles about other European childcare concepts. An increasing number of parents also expressed their wish to continue the day nursery model (for children under three years) in the kindergarten for children aged three to six.
