Introduction/specifics

You can find our daycare center on the northeastern outskirts of Bayreuth. In the district of Laineck. Play and learn here 7 groups 150 children together. The “Lainecker Schlossbande” daycare center is divided into 3 areas: crèche, kindergarten and after-school care. Our three regular groups and a crèche group have their place in the listed sandstone building. Our second nativity scene group can be found in the adjacent annex. The two after-school groups are housed in the premises of the Laineck primary school. We see ourselves as a family-complementing and family-supporting daycare center. Our inclusive approach always focuses on the children's strengths. We accompany children during their individual development phases so that they can independently gain life experiences, gain confidence in their own actions and gain self-confidence.

In our daycare center (nursery/kindergarten/after-school care center) we offer only childcare places with a care period of 5 days (Monday-Friday).

Rooms

kindergarten

Our 3 Kingergarten groups are located in spacious old buildings with stucco ceilings and many windows. The large group rooms allow for plenty of opportunities for play and development.

The crèche children in the annex have access to a bright, lovingly and colorfully furnished group room with an integrated dining area. We have an integrated climbing area and an “discovery corner” with individual wooden play furniture. Since September 2018 we have opened a second crèche group in the kindergarten premises. In the two group rooms, the children have many opportunities to train their motor skills thanks to the versatile movement furniture.

Hort

At the Laineck primary school, our after-school children have access to two large after-school rooms. There is space to play and learn here. There is a large kitchen where the children eat their meals. The children do their homework in the classroom.

Outdoor Facilities

kindergarten

Our facility has a spacious, fenced-in outdoor play area with lots of hedges and shady trees. As part of the redesign of the garden in 2015/2016, a large climbing frame with a suspension bridge and a slide was built. A large bobby car racing track offers plenty of driving space for countless exercise devices such as scooters, balance bikes and tricycles. There is a large nest swing and a seesaw animal in the garden. An Indian tippi and two wooden toy horses invite you to role play. A large sandpit enriches the garden. Lots of sand toys are available to the children every day. As an ideal complement to the well-equipped public playgrounds in the surrounding area, the design of our garden is aimed at intensive play and experiments with different natural materials. Variable areas and a large population of trees enable rich environmental and sensory experiences all year round. Rest zones, common areas and space for diverse forms of movement meet all demands for conceptually anchored daily use.

Food

breakfast

Parents bring breakfast from home for their children. We value healthy, balanced and varied nutrition. Every Monday we start the week with a muesli breakfast. There is also organic milk from our EU school fruit/milk program. The castle gang parents bring the healthy muesli with them. Our delicious discovery day takes place once a month. The children try “delicacies” based on a topic of enjoyment. We want to discover special foods with the children and experience new and exciting flavors. The focus is on everything that makes children fit and is sure to please them.

Lunch

Our tasty, healthy and balanced food is delivered fresh to us every day by the Noll & Westpahl catering service. There is a choice between vegetarian/standard/without pork. Intolerances are taken into account. Alternatively, you can bring your own lunch (in a warming box) or a cold lunch. beverages There is enough to drink between meals and between meals. At a “drinking oasis” the children can get their own water at any time. There is also unsweetened tea, fruit juice spritzers and occasionally milk.

Afternoon snack

Basics

Zeit haben....  für die Kinder und ihre Bedürfnisse                     

                            mit ihnen Entdeckungen zu machen

                            mit ihnen ihre Erlebnisse zu teilen

                            für Kreativität

Wir arbeiten nach dem situationsorientierten Ansatz. Dabei stehten die Themen der Kinder im Mittelpunkt. Das was die Kinder bewegt und interessiert wird in den Kitaalltag integriert.
Wir arbeiten zusätzlich nach dem Bewegungskonzept Hengstenberg/Pickler. Mit speziellen Holzbewegungsmaterialien können immer wieder neue Bewegunslandschaften aufgebaut werden. Die Kinder forschen, probieren aus und entdecken eigene Spiel- u. Handlungsräume.
