Rooms

Our house for children is located on the eastern outskirts of Mimberg, directly on the forest. The spacious property of about 2,000 sqm is located on a gentle south-facing slope. No through traffic.

A bright, friendly kindergarten group is located on the upper floor. Furthermore, an intensive care room, a washroom, the housekeeping area and a staff room are located on the upper floor.

The second kindergarten group is housed in the spacious former multipurpose room on the first floor.

Our nursery groups each have a generously sized, bright and friendly group room and bedroom. An additional room can be used for intensive creative or musical activities. There is also a washroom with a large changing table and crèche toilets for the crèche and kindergarten children. The office is also located on the first floor.

Outdoor Facilities

The spacious outdoor area of approx. 2,000 sqm has a loose stock of trees. In between are large grassy open spaces with a large sandbox, a slide, a bobby car track with a circuit and a climbing frame. There is also a separate toddler area with a large playground.

Specifics

Special features:

We want to walk together, "big and small - hand in hand", a path with parents and children. Hands can support and accompany, but you can also let them go to create space. An outstretched hand can encourage, reassure and give security.

The starting point and center of our pedagogical work is the child. We therefore orient ourselves, on the basis of the Christian image of man, to the life situations, the stage of development, experiences, experiences and needs of the children.

We work integratively in our house and therefore cooperate closely with curative teachers and the early intervention center in Altdorf. Care is possible if the handicap allows integration in a regular group.
