Introduction/specifics

Our Kindergarten is a place for children with or without special needs. You will find us in the "Kinderhaus am Ampergrund" where we look after children from the age of three up to six years, in three groups. Because we have a partly open house, the children can play in the hallway and visit the other groups. We provide aktivities accross all the groups so the children can decide where they want to take part. In our nursery we all know each other and everybody can take part. Insecure children can find the security of their own group and can venture out, when they are ready. As we love nature, the children are frequently able to play outside or take part in aktivities in the surrounding countryside. We work closely together with the church St.Josef, as part of our curriculum is religious education. Children of any persuasion are welcom in our Kindergarten.

We provide a healthy breakfast and a fresh lunch is cooked in our large kitchen every day, for children with longer booking times.

Please note, that we close at 15:30 on Fridays.

Rooms

Our Kindergarten has three main rooms and three smaler rooms for quiet aktivities. The hallway is also devided into several  play areas. We share the gym with the two other childcare facilities in the building. Our cooks prepare fresh meals every day in our large kitchen.

A partitioned area in the halway provides room for our restaurant.

Outdoor Facilities

In 2025 we were able to redisign our garden into a natural area with wild plants and many areas with lots of opportunity for discovering new things. On natural looking, especially designed playareas, the children can practice all the skills they need to grow up healthy and strong. Sand an water areas are providing many opportunities for experimentation and discorevering natural sciences.  

On planed path children of all abilities can reach almost every area of the garden.

The children are alowed to use the garden at all times.

In our raised beds we grow fruit and vegetabels for snacking and for breakfast and lunch. 

Daily Schedule

Some children arrive at 7.30 o'clock but most arrive between 8:00 and 8:30.

The day starts with a group aktivity, were the children receive information about what ist happening on the day and which areas are open to play in. They are able to give their opinion and vote if there a decisions to be made.

Three times a week things are happening in the gym and the garden ist always open to all.

Food

Im Laufe des Vormittags hat jedes Kind die Möglichkeit an einer gleitenden Brotzeit teilzunehmen. Die Brotzeit wird von uns zu Verfügung gestellt. Die Kinder können bei den Vorbereitungen helfen und stellen sich ihre Brotzeit selber zusammen. Zusätzlich stehen frisches Obst und Gemüse, sowie verschiedene Getränke zur Verfügung.

Unser Mittagessen wird täglich frisch in unserer hauseigenen Küche, von einer Köchin, zubereitet. Wir achten auf eine ausgewogene, gesunde Ernährung, auf Nachhaltigkeit und soweit dies möglich ist, nutzen wir regionale Lebensmitttel. 

Damit unsere Küche noch besser werden kann, nehmen wir dieses Jahr am Kita-Coaching des Amtes für Ernährung und Forsten, teil. Unsere Köchinnen nehmen gerne und regelmäßig an Fortbildungen teil.
