Education in Berlin

The German states are primarily responsible for the educational system in Germany.

In Berlin, like in Germany, preschool education is the domain of the Kindertagesstätte (literally "children's day site", often shortened to Kita or KITA), which is usually divided into the Kinderkrippe (crèche) for toddlers (age up to 3 years), and the Kindergarten for children who are older than three years and before school.

Children in their last Kindergarten year may be grouped into a Vorschule ("preschool") and given special pedagogic attention.

Berlin has a special bilingual school program embedded in the "Europaschule".
