“ a carpet for crawling & playing
” floor-to-ceiling windows for looking & observing

” cosy corners or small caves as retreats
“ opportunity to swing
” furniture that is adapted to the body size (playable shelves, sofa, tables & chairs with different seat heights)
" age-appropriate play material, books & stimulating (learning) material
We always design the sleeping area to be as stimulation-free as possible. This makes it easier for the children to rest.
The separate sanitary area is equipped with both small toilets and washbasins that are adapted to the height of the children. The children can wash their hands independently or clean their faces after eating and receive appropriate support from the educational staff depending on their stage of development. The large changing table has shelves for the individual care products and diapers of each child.

In the research room, curious & inquisitive children have the opportunity to experiment with (safe) materials in the children's laboratory.
Many different, interesting natural materials, diagrams, world map & globe attract the children's attention.
Fish in the aquarium & stick insects in the terrarium invite the children to observe & the children learn to take responsibility for the animals & reduce their fears.
A shelf is stocked with materials for counting, recording & determining quantities, comparing, forming rows, sorting, learning about geometric shapes & solids - in short, for acquiring mathematical skills.
A tablet and a laptop invite the children to access a wide range of information and engage with interesting topics, e.g. about nature (Oscar, the balloonist dives underwater, dandelions), language (smart mice) or mathematics (number adventures).
The prerequisite for this is that the children have previously learned or practiced the proper use of the laptop and have a laptop (driver's) license. The use of digital media is limited in time and serves to expand knowledge and strengthen various skills.
Our children's library is equipped with many picture books, non-fiction books, encyclopedias and children's magazines that invite children to look things up, look at books, tell each other stories or listen to the teacher telling a story.

The creative room offers young artists plenty of space and materials for creative work.
Great works of art are created every day through crafts, modeling and painting.
However, it is not the great result (picture, craft work), but the journey (learning process) to get there (cutting, gluing, painting etc.) that is important for the child.
"The path is the goal."
Confucius
The handicraft corner is equipped with wool, fabrics, buttons, etc. Here the children weave, knit, knit, cord and sew.
In the wood workshop, the children develop their own ideas and implement them step by step until they have a finished product.
They experience their own work as productive & valuable. They learn about different tools and how to use them properly.
