Arabic language classes

Kindergarten Arabic Course (3–5 years)

In the first years of life, children develop key skills that will accompany them throughout their lives. Early contact with the Arabic language not only strengthens their linguistic development, but also their emotional connection to their own religion and culture. In our kindergarten course, children experience the Arabic language in an environment characterized by trust, joy and Islamic values.

Through stories of the prophets (عليهم السلام), songs, games and creative activities, the first letters and important terms are introduced. At the same time, we lay the first foundations of faith in a playful way by introducing the prayer (Ṣalāh) in a child-friendly way and teaching Islamic etiquette. Our aim is to open the children’s hearts to the Arabic language and their religion and to build a positive relationship with both.

Our teaching concept combines language, religion and social skills in a harmonious way – so that our children grow up strong, self-confident and deeply rooted in their identity.
