The Swedish School in Vienna provides a multilingual, high-quality preschool program designed to prepare children for school. Through structured activities in our groups, we foster school readiness in a playful and engaging way, encouraging children's natural curiosity and love of learning.
Our approach balances guided learning with ample opportunities for free play, placing significant emphasis on time spent outdoors and in nature. Supporting the children’s social and emotional development is a central focus, ensuring they build confidence and resilience.
By nurturing these key skills, we aim to create a smooth and natural transition from kindergarten to school, laying a strong foundation for each child's future education.
We offer a diverse range of school preparatory activities designed to support children's development and readiness for school:
Languages: Swedish, German, and additional English support, including phonological awareness exercises, rhymes, reading, and audiobooks.
Mathematics: Introduction to basic mathematical concepts, number work, counting practice, and problem-solving activities.
