Hello, my name is Frieda. I´m a little mouse.I´m living with my friends in the bilingual Kindergarten Zeppenheimer Weg in Düsseldorf, Germany. Some children talk to me in german and some in english. It´s so nice to be here.

Cloakroom The children can come from 07:30 – 09:00h .Every group has a cloakroom.Each child has it´s own space with a photo of themselves.Here we hang our coats and put our shoes before we go to our group.

Morning circle Every morning at 9 o´clock we meet in the circle. We talk about relevant topics, for example which day, month and season it is or which project we have in the house. After that we sing and play games.
