Introduction/specifics
Mission Statement of the Catholic Day Care Center "St. Anna" Birkenau
We are a Catholic daycare center of the Birkenau parish group and thus part of the parish of Maria Himmelfahrt.
As with Jesus, we focus on children as unique creatures of God. Our house is open to all children and their families. That is why we do not differentiate according to origin, skin colour, social class, physical, mental or spiritual specificity.
In the diversity of this world, it is a matter of course for us to treat all other religions and cultures with respect. We have a wide variety of nationalities in our kindergarten and feel that the diversity of the children, parents and educators is an enrichment for our daily work. It is important to us to accept the child and the person as an individual and to take them seriously. Everyone brings different abilities, strengths and weaknesses to the children's playground.
We are an open, warm team that likes to share our enthusiasm for the Christian faith with children and parents.
We work according to the open approach. Our rooms are functional rooms where children can stay and play according to their needs and preferences.
We see it as our task to meet the children at eye level and to get involved with their individual needs.
„Teach me to do it myself.“
Maria Montessori
We see it as our task:
• To accompany and support the children in their daily activities
• Offer you new incentives
• To accompany their development
• To challenge and encourage them
• To convey structure through recurring rituals
• To experience the individual and the group
• To let the children actively participate in the organization of their day-to-day kindergarten life
