Start learning another language as soon as possible. Let your child join our new German Nursery class.

Languages are an essential aspect of exploring and understanding the world. Through language we communicate, understand, cooperate and learn faster about the world around us.

House of Knowledge is the first Reggio Emilia-inspired International Kindergarten in China offering a multilingual environment for our children.

For the past 17 years, we have been dedicated to building an excellent teaching approach that provide a well-designed, age-appropriate learning environment promoting children’s holistic development.

Our kindergarten cultivates not only the children’s awareness about different languages around the world, but also we are the only kindergarten that teaches our young learners in three languages.

Today, we are very delighted to announce, that starting in September 2023, we will open a German Nursery class at our Victoria Gardens campus.

Our German Nursery class is suitable for children aged 18 months – 3 years old.

We welcome you and your child to join us and gain a new language skill with our experienced and enthusiastic German teaching team.

From school founder, principal, to lead teacher, House of Knowledge is consistently equipped with a very strong German team that allows our German culture to be authentically immersed in children’s daily campus life.
