Simplify the Season: Give the Gift of Kinderhaus

When tasked with making a Christmas wish list for your family, do you find yourself thinking “Ugh, we just don’t need more stuff!”

What about an experience gift? What about giving the gift of Kinderhaus? We invite you to encourage your loved ones (and yourselves!) to donate to our incredible preschool in place of (or in addition to) a present under the tree.

Donors are able to earmark their contribution for a particular fund if desired:

• Equipment Fund
  • Contribute to the purchase of a new computer, printer, and digital camera for our Kinderhaus staff.
• Play Fund
  • Fairy Tents, garden tools, musical instruments, books… your contributions will help us grow our collection of Waldorf-inspired toys that encourage imaginative play and learning.
• Scholarship Fund
  • Choose to support KinderGrant, our in-house scholarship program. Help us ensure that Kinderhaus is accessible to all children, of all families and incomes.
• Teacher Support Fund
  • Your donation will support our caring and knowledgeable teachers by providing benefits, living wages, and workshop opportunities.
• Wherever Needed Most Fund
  • Just like it sounds! We’ll put your donation toward our most important needs.

You can use the Paypal Button below:

Or simply send a check to:

Kinderhaus Holiday Fundraiser
Kinderhaus
PO Box 114
Decorah, IA 52101

For each donation received, the Board will promptly mail a tax-deductible receipt and a gift notification card. This little card is a way for each donor to “pay it forward” and let someone know a gift was given in their name.

Thank you for helping to keep our little school mighty!

Blessings to you and yours this holiday season,

The Kinderhaus Board
Marin Hanson, Breelyn Sauer, Jenna Gjerde, Siri Steven, Amanda Rubasch, and Tiffany Macklin

Join Kinderhaus for a week of playing, exploring, and growing!

We are excited to announce that we will be offering afternoon care for the 2017-2018 school year!

Children who stay at Kinderhaus for the afternoons will eat their lunches brought from home, then settle into a peaceful rest time, accompanied by stories, music, and a special blessing for each child.  After rising from their rest, the children and Ms. Kristin will find home-like projects to work on, such as baking or gardening, and will finish their time together in free play.

Afternoons will run from 12:15-3:00.

We will be cancelling this Visit Day so a Kinderhaus staff member can be at a loved one’s funeral.

If you are interested in visiting Kinderhaus, please contact Rachel at: rachel@kinderhausdecorah.com or 563-379-7303 to make arrangements to visit our school next week!

Look for another “Kinderhaus Visit Day” this fall!
