Learning should be fun

The St. Martini Kindergarten is a German kindergarten with an attached pre-school group (Grade R), which was founded 60 years ago by the St. Martini community in Cape Town. Our teachers and assistants prepare the children in a playful and competent way for starting school at a German or other school. Our curriculum is designed to meet the learning requirements of the German School in Cape Town.

We are happy to take in multilingual children with existing German language skills from the age of 3 and accommodate them at their desired location. There are currently five groups in the city center and three more groups in the southern district of Wynberg. Around 130 children are currently playing and learning in the Christian St. Martini Kindergarten at two locations.

Guest Children

For children who speak German and whose parents are only in Cape Town for a short time (holidays, expats, digital nomads), the St. Martini Kindergarten offers the opportunity to be accepted as a guest child. Inquiries are possible at any time and we are always happy to welcome new children in the groups.

Weekly Devotion

In our Kindergarten, we attach great importance to giving the children a holistic understanding of cultural traditions. We therefore also celebrate Christian festivals, such as St Martin’s and St Nicholas’ Day, with the support of the St Martin’s and St John’s congregations, on whose grounds the Kindergarten is located. We see it as an opportunity to show the children the diversity of the world and encourage them to respect and understand other cultures and religions. By celebrating these Christian holidays, the children learn not only about the traditions of others, but also about the importance of compassion, charity and generosity – values that are meaningful across religious boundaries. It is important to us that the children in our care develop an open attitude towards different faiths and at the same time have the opportunity to explore their own identity.
