Our Kindergarten Director gives the parents a personalized orientation as part of the Admissions Process:
- They have participated in the Open Doors Day but need more information to decide if they start the Admissions Process in our Kindergarten.
- One of the parents, or both, are former students and they are thinking about enrolling their child in Colegio Andino but they would like to know more about the changes in the educational approach in Kindergarten.
- Every child and family are different. They are not sure about what type of school, educational approach or language is more appropriate for their child.
- They have a special family situation (work change, transfer, illness, divorce, far away residence….) and they need personalized advice regarding school election and the best moment for their child to start school.
- They are worried about topics such as the distance to School, the importance of German, the size of School, etc. and would like to learn about previous experiences.
- They have received an acceptance letter from School, but they need more information before accepting the spot.

Our Kindergarten
Grow Up concept in the classrooms
The main classroom has 4 learning corners (math, reading, construction and creativity). There are other functional classrooms that encourage children to engage in different activities in an independent way, so the classroom transforms into a third teacher.
Our classrooms are designed so children will feel as if they were outdoors.
Naturtag (Nature Day)
During the first three years of School, contact with nature and playing are important learning tools through which children acquire abilities and skills that will be the foundation of the next school stages.
In Andino, nature is part of our daily lives.
Educational materials from Germany
In their classrooms, our children have material and furniture brought from Germany that is specifically designed for every development stage. This way, they learn through tactile means that help improve their motor skills.
¿You were not able to go to our Open Doors Day?
We have designed a personalized space where the Admissions Director gives a tour through School’s facilities with maximum three families per day.
These tours take place from Monday to Thursday, starting at 9:10 a.m. (2 hours).
