This is my very first time starting a thread. Please can someone answer!
Husband is in the army, we live in Germany. Both DH and I speak basic German, DS (3 in May) does not yet speak any. I would love him to have a chance at learning the local language and feel it is such a good chance. I am going to look round a local kindergarten tomorrow, my German neighbour recomends it and her child starts this week.
Given all the horror stories I have read on here about German education is this a good idea? We would probably be here for another 3 years and then back to uk where i would try to keep up his German through German Sat School. Not worried about his English or standard of work on return to UK. He is a bright boy and I see it as a bonus that he could put off starting formal education.
So can anyone reassure me that it is a good idea?
Any hints on what to ask Kindergarten and what negative points I should look out for? Please help!

Am I mad to put DS into German Kindergarten when he could go to army pre-school ?
