Kinder lernen Deutsch
Parents: In the Kinder lernen Deutsch program, your child in grade 2, 3, or 4 will be introduced to the German language and culture through fun activities, games, and songs. Both beginners and children with previous exposure to German are welcome.
Kinder lernen Deutsch is taught by Valpo undergraduate students of German, who are supervised by Dr. Timothy Malchow, Professor of German.
This year, the program takes place Tuesdays, 4-5 PM, in the Kade-Duesenberg German House and Cultural Center on the campus of Valparaiso University (822 Mound Street in Valparaiso). The 2024-2025 dates are:
- September 24
- October 1, 8, 22, 29 (no program on Oct. 15 for VCS fall break)
- November 5, 12, 19
- January 14, 21, 28
- February 4, 11, 18, 25 (parents invited to the celebration on the last day)
Cost: $75 (cash or check made out to Valparaiso University, to pay at the start of the first day of the program). If your child normally receives a free or reduced lunch at school due to your financial situation, contact the Director to discuss discount options: tim.malchow@valpo.edu
Health Information: We want everyone coming to Kinder lernen Deutsch and everyone going home again to be healthy. If your child feels ill or has not been in school due to illness, your child should stay home.
