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.

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.
