But the team around Carlos and Judith does a wonderful job and managed it to give us an easy start, lots of trust and great help in the positive development of our baby boy. We were surprised how fast he picked up with his older playmates, how he improved his motor skills and how all the three languages became part of his life. The team of Casa Luz tries hard to satisfy parents and children. There are regularly offers for children; all different kinds. They have get-togethers where parents get the chance to talk about their concerns and wishes. There is little events where the parents are invited to spend time with their children and the other parents - highlights are for example songs that the kids represent with their teachers. A big plus is the flexibility in booking the individual hours. The team always has an open ear. The change of teachers is not a fault of Casa Luz at all, it's a problem all over Germany and we know that. Thank you Casa Luz for having us, we really appreciate your support in so many ways!

We always felt confident that our son was well cared for and treated with kindness and respect. While at Casa Luz, we saw him make great strides in his social and verbal skills, as well as his confidence and self-esteem. Casa Luz partnered with us to provide wonderful advice and guidance on how to extend learning and work on specific goals at home and during periods of distance learning. We always felt that communication was open. It was easy to speak with Carlos and Judith as well as the other kindergarten staff and we always felt listened to during discussions. We feel very lucky to have found Casa Luz and highly recommend this preschool as it offers both a personal and loving environment for the youngest learners.

Lust am Lernen - the joy of learning is not only the name of the one-woman run Montessori…read moreinstitution, but also the basis for the very personal atmosphere which is created by the owner Frau Marina Schlötter-Groß. This is THE place that covers 5 different needs which parents may have: 1. weekly parent-infant/toddler meetings 2. groups with a max. of 6 toddlers meet w/out parents for 3 hours in the morning or afternoon. This can be booked once/week or up 4,5 times/week on a regular basis. 3. weekly meetings for pre-schoolers (or even during that first difficult year at a Munich Grundschule) 4. individual meetings for guardians and their child(ren) - this suits parents especially with difficult (e.g. ADD) or specially gifted (e.g. Down-Syndrome) children 5. meetings during school vacation (according to the Bavarian school system) The age group of children can range from infant (1y.) up to school child ( What I really like about Frau Schlötter is that she fully concentrates on the child, not on the parents gibbering, babbeling in the background. Initially she will listen very carefully to the parent, but will then take on her own way by finding out the interests and talents of every individual child in a very calm and child-friendly manner. She does not consider her work as offering a playgroup for children, but rather implementing the basics of Montessori education. Every child at its own pace in a harmonious, nonviolent, safe environment. I entrusted my 3 children fearlessly and without a guilty conscience at different stages in their lives. So, I can recommend Frau Schlötter 100% to any other parent who wants their child in good hands - no, in excellent hands! I have never felt as safe and sure leaving my kids with a babysitter or aupair as I have with Frau Schlötter. The children learn how to appreciate going about things quietly, even sitting at the table for their snack-time. Respecting the basic rules of hygiene and safety, Frau Schlötter is able to melt away any stubbornness in your child concerning table manners as well. The children eat off of china and drink from real glass cups. They also learn to use a fork, spoon and knife. There is never any screaming or shouting - Frau Schlötter will give you the confidence in leaving your child with her by her extremely sweet service of confirming via text message onto your cell phone how things are going. Hopefully you will have the chance to meet her in person and have your child visit her Montessori group. Good luck!

I'm in love with the concept of Gabi's Nest and all that it has to offer - from prenatal to post…read morenatal all under one roof! You really develop a relationship with Gabi & those working at her Nest over the time. I found from my friend's recommendation to have Gabi as my Hebamme. I was fortunate enough to secure a spot with Gabi for her as my Midwife (that comes to the house after the birth). During my pregnancy I did the prep courses at Gabi's Nest. At first I wasn't so sure if I should not have done them at the hospital, but then they began and I was 100% happy with my decision! The 7 weeks of courses flew by and I really enjoyed each evening where we gained useful information about the birth, pregnancy, breast feeding and much more 'Gabi' experience & knowledge. Then, after being 100% satisfied pre-birth with Gabi & the service I received, I was astonished how I was even more satisfied, couldn't-say-enough-good-things, about the 'Wochenbett' care I received!!! Gabi is fabulous! She genuinely loves her job and loves supporting her new mothers!!! She's not always punctual & she can really get deep in conversation and forget the time. She is one of a kind. Then, as my Wochenbett was ending I realized how wonderful it is that Gabi's Nest offers massages & other pampering services!' It's so great to be able, as a new mother, to get an hour massage and bring your baby with you! You are truly able to relax knowing that qualified, trust worthy babysitter have your baby in the room next door. Plus, since it's all at the same place you save time in getting to your appointment. Hilda does a really great massage too! I haven't tried the other services yet, but there are many ways to be pampered in the future. If you're flexible and are looking for someone to really care about how your doing & support you in your first months home with your new baby, then Gabi's the one. If you'd rather punctual and predictable planning, then for a Hebamme, you should look elsewhere. Regardless, for support with babysitting or treating yourself to a massage or spa service after the birth, I will recommend Gabi's Nest to all my friends!
