Description
DRAGONFLY – NEW ENGLISH SPEAKING KINDERGARTEN IN KLAGENFURT AM WÖRTHERSEE
„Every child needs space appropriate to their abilities.“ Emmi Pikler
A historically valuable building erected in 1890 on Villacher Straße, directly on the Lend Canal, was completely renovated and converted into an English-language kindergarten. The house with its playful shapes, distinctive roof silhouette with exposed gables and onion dome seems to have sprung from the fantasy world of children - an ideal place with history that stimulates the imagination.
Spacious and brightly designed rooms as well as a dining area with large windows offer space to develop. A tent-like room under the steep gabled roof offers peace and quiet.
The south-facing garden at the back of the building has a spacious playground. An access located here allows bringing and fetching the children free from car traffic.
