Anja – Founder/Director
Born and raised in Germany, I studied primary teaching before travelling as a professional percussionist through Europe, West Africa and the United States. After settling in the UK. I worked as a senior events and marketing manager and qualified as a nutritionist. Having become a mum, it was very important to me that my children grew up bilingual and I became involved in setting up the German Saturday School Brighton & Hove, which I co-chaired for four years.
During that time, the dream of creating a community of bilingual families was born. From that, grew the idea of setting up a German kindergarten. I opened the doors of our house in Kemptown for children in 2014 and four years later, we had grown so big that I looked for new premises. In the summer of 2018 my dream for a big, sunny new home for the Language Garden, surrounded by nature, came true and we moved to the beautiful old village school premises in Falmer.
