TIVOLI RAINBOW GARDEN PRESCHOOL was born out of a need for a bilingual (German/English) preschool program with a caring, gentle, and non-judgmental approach to raise and educate children. In 2008, Ilka Sternberger created an immersion program for families who were looking for a home-like environment with a developmental, whole-child curriculum.
Her vision was to create a platform for German-speaking families to sustain their heritage within the next generation by teaching their children the German language and culture in a playful environment. And she successfully established her vision. She celebrated the 10-year anniversary of her Kindergarten last year.

Festivals offer a sense of belonging to a community. They are based on cultural topics and pass on traditions to the next generations. Celebrating festivals guides a community through the year and emphasizes on the different seasons. They bring families closer together and serve as a pillar in the child's early years.
I am eternally grateful that we found Tivoli Rainbow Garden Preschool. The environment Ilka and her staff have created reflects her warmth and nurturing spirit, and has been an invaluable part of our son's social and cognitive development.
From imaginative play to learning the German language, to building friendships and learning conflict resolution, our son, and all of Ilka's students, are able to grow and to learn about the world around them in a safe and loving space.Thank you, Ilka! I have nothing but glowing things to say about Ilka Sternberger and Tivoli Rainbow Garden Pre-school.

Our twin girls have been attending Tivoli for 6 months now and they absolutely love Ilka and her entire team! Ilka’s altruistic personality, knowledge, attention to detail and commitment to her kids growth and emotional stability is priceless!
Tivoli really is the only truly immersion program in the area. At Tivoli German Language and culture is a priority.
My wife and I feel so safe having our girls at Tivoli. If you’re looking for a grounded environment for your children, there’s nowhere else you should be!
