Fees (from 1st August 2023)

Annual tuition fees vary according to the student's grade level and entry point:

Kindergarten

As a recognised childcare provider, we receive subsidies from both the state of Hesse and the municipality of Dreieich. However, due to the additional costs of our pedagogical concept, we are still dependent on the collection of parental fees. Since we would like to give all children the opportunity to visit our facility, we have decided to use an income-dependent fee model.
