Our family-run kindergarten

We are a non-profit, international English-speaking Montessori kindergarten and crèche for 1 to 6 year-olds in Vienna, Austria.

The Children’s House is located at Arbeiterstrandbadstrasse 130, directly opposite the U1 station Alte Donau. Our beautiful, light-filled school building with a big play garden as well as a wonderful working garden is close to the Donaupark and just down the road from the United Nations – Vienna International Centre.

Head teacher, Katharine Wolschner founded The Children’s House in 1992 with the help of her husband Herbert and since then the kindergarten has grown and flourished and has included a crèche since 2011. Now their three children, Daniel, Anna and Rebecca also have leading roles and together with their team of international teachers they are committed to providing the best Montessori start in life to children from all around the world.
