GERMAN IMMERSION
FAMILY CHILD CARE
IN ENCINITAS,CA
Baumhaus Kinder Center is a high quality German immersion Family Child Care in North County San Diego. Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment, where your child can grow and blossom. We focus on the development of the “Whole Child”, by emphasizing play-based learning, social & emotional development,
and mindfulness.
Our approach is influenced by European early childhood methodologists, such as Rudolf Steiner, and includes many aspects of the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, which together provide the most valuable and rich learning
environment for children.
OUR TEACHERS

Klaudia Hochfilzer
My passion for working with children was always present, but I didn’t start my Early Childhood Education before my move to San Diego in 2016. I am originally from Austria where I visited a music high school, and from there continued my education and graduated at a Tourism college. When I moved to San Diego I became a certified early childhood teacher, worked as a preschool teacher, and I will soon be completing my Master Teacher in Early Childhood Education. Being a mother of two wonderful children made me appreciate this beautiful early developmental stage even more. My vision has always been to create a bilingual preschool and community that we as parents and our children can experience together . Baumhaus Kinder delivers a warm and natural European approach to early childhood education and incorporates what I believe are some of the best parts of Waldorf, Reggio Emilia and Montessori approaches to teaching.

Jennifer Carqueville
I am a native German speaker and grew up in Vienna, a lovely city in Austria. I started exploring my passion for teaching as a Communication Trainer for Bachelor students at a university in Vienna and I received my Masters degree in business. In 2019 I moved with my American husband Dan and our dog Sunny from Austria to beautiful San Diego. That is where the teaching of Yoga and German as a Lead Teacher in a play-based German immersion preschool began. I guide the children with a whole-child and emergent curriculum approach. Everything that I consider very valuable for the development of children is embedded in the mission of Baumhaus Kinder. Our principles are completely aligned. I am excited to create magical moments for our little ones and build a community together with Klaudia.

“Before children speak, they sing.
Before they write, they paint.
As soon as they stand, they dance.
Art is the basis of human expression.”
