Introduction/specifics

The Ilse day nursery (Kita) is located between the Plattenwald recreation area and the city centre. Nearby are the Plaiseerschule primary school and the In der Taus comprehensive school. The single-storey building with a flat roof provides space for three groups, each with its own group room and an additional room. The space is complemented by a multi-purpose hall with an adjoining cloakroom area and a changing and washing room. The multi-purpose hall is used for a variety of purposes and serves as a dining area in addition to providing space for movement and group activities. It is used in the mornings for a communal breakfast.
The large garden features two swings, a bird’s nest swing and a crèche area for children under three years of age, including a house with a slide and a ramp. There are a large and a small sandpit, two climbing frames (one with a slide) and a balance beam. At the back of the Kita there is a rock garden, which can be accessed via the terrace door from the multi-purpose hall. Here the children also have a paved area at their disposal.
 

Basics

The educational work of the day-care centre is based on the orientation plan for education and upbringing. Within the framework of the respective annual thematic focus, the children are supported in all areas of education and development. A special focus is placed on the promotion of movement, for example through gymnastics classes, water familiarisation and the movement passport. Movement is also part of everyday life through walks, time spent in the garden and movement activities. Another focus is on reliability and stability in a family-like atmosphere for the children and the resulting opportunity for them to develop a great deal of independence. Children are increasingly entrusted with tasks and encouraged to take them on independently. In addition, the Ilse day-care centre has partnerships with the Adrion organic farm, the SBS music school and the Gartenstraße retirement home. Visits and activities are regularly organised within this framework. The Ilse day-care centre has been certified several times by the Stiftung Kinder forschen und Clever in Sonne und Schatten (Children Research and Clever in Sun and Shade Foundation). A major special feature of the Ilse day-care centre is its fresh food kitchen and the resulting BeKi certification.

The wide range of activities provides children with an excellent basis for developing in all areas. Children are independent individuals with a wide range of skills and individual development potential. The pedagogical staff see themselves as companions who support children and enable them to gain their own experiences and develop their skills further.

Parents are regarded as important partners in the care, education and upbringing of their children, as they know their children best. Cooperation is achieved through regular conversations at the door and at the gate, as well as through development talks. The parents have set up an internal support association for the kindergarten (FöKI) and this association supports us when needed.
