Enrollment

The 2026–2027 school year runs August 24th, 2026, to May 28th, 2027.

Monthly tuition is $165 for Monday classes and enrichment classes, and $180 for all other classes. We offer a sibling discount of 10% for the first sibling and another 10% for each additional sibling, applicable in the order from the highest to lowest tuition for the year: the sibling with the highest tuition pays full tuition, the sibling with the second highest tuition receives a 10% discount, the sibling with the third highest tuition receives a 20% discount, and so forth.

A one time, non-refundable application fee of $55 and materials fee of $120 are due with registration. For new students, we also collect a $120 deposit that is refundable when the student leaves the program.

Enrollment for returning students is open now, online only via TADS.

For new parents who do not yet have a TADS account with Bay Area Kinderstube, please sign up via the external enrollment form. Please be sure to select the 2026/27 school year!

Students entering BAKS+ classes are expected to understand and speak German – and for older students, read and write German – at an age-appropriate level. Parents of potential new students should contact our directors at baksplus@kinderstube.org if they have questions about whether BAKS+ is likely to be a good fit for their child in terms of language level.
