Teamwork with parents

• The cooperation with the parents is very important to us, because only if a trusting and honest cooperation is established, we can all act for the good of the child.

  
  Therefore, regular parent-child events are offered on various topics. In addition, we offer a parents' café twice a month in cooperation with the Kinderschutzbund Bielefeld. Parents also have the opportunity to take advantage of parent counseling.

  
  In addition to this, we organize events together with the parents during the course of the kindergarten year, e.g. winter breakfast, father-child morning, baking together, etc.)
