Group Division:
We have 2 sections - crèche (0-3 years) and kindergarten (3-6 years).
In the crèche there are 2 groups with 13 children each and in the kindergarten there are 4 groups with 25 children each. A total of 2 integrative places can be filled.
Costs:
Minimum enrollment in both areas is 4-5 hours per day. All children who turned three in the previous year receive a monthly subsidy of 100 euros towards the parental contribution from the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs. State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs. The contribution for the second child is reduced because there is a sibling regulation: The youngest child in the House for Children is counted as the first. The reduced contribution for the second child depends on its age (daycare or kindergarten contribution). The 3rd child is tuition-free.

4-5 hours = 200 euros, 5-6 hours = 225 euros ... up to a maximum of 9-10 hours = 325 euros

Goals Kindergarten
"We see ourselves as a family-supplementing institution with the claim to education, upbringing and care of children. The work in our kindergarten is based on Christian principles.
The Bavarian Education Plan (BEP) forms the basis for our pedagogical activities."
The facility places great emphasis on the development of the basic competencies written in the BEP. Basic competencies are defined as fundamental skills and personality characteristics that enable the child to interact with other children and adults and to deal with the conditions in his or her material environment.
Structure of offers and focal points in the kindergarten
There are different offers in the institution, which take place regularly. For example, there is gymnastics in our gymnasium, which focuses on body awareness and movement.
The handicraft activities in the individual groups focus on the joy of creative design and aesthetics.
Through the church services held by the external specialist Irene Wagner and the religious education, which, for example, praying before meals or taking up Christian festivals, the development of a Christian image of man is to be promoted.
The weekly English program offered by the external specialist Hermann Kürschner promotes the focus on "further development of the language through appropriate programs".
In addition, the offer of early musical education by Mr. Norbert Hiller from the Musikforum Burgthann takes place once a week. The children can register for the course depending on their interest.
Within the group, preschool education takes place regularly. Here the focus is on school preparation and promotion of the cognitive areas.
The Würzburg language model "Listen-Listen-Learn" or the language model "Wuppi" (= group individual) is also offered for the preschool children. The children are offered various games in small groups for 10 to 15 minutes a day, if possible, in which they playfully learn how to listen, rhyme, sentences, words, syllables and individual sounds in words.
Other activities take place sporadically and individually. There are cooking activities, experiments, excursions and much more.
Environmental education is also an important focus in our facility.
Goals of the nursery:
We offer children space and time to learn and develop with all their senses.
In our facility, we want to offer a protected and secure environment in which the children have the opportunity to make social contacts and develop emotionally.
Familiarization in the daycare center
Our acclimation is based on the "Berlin Model". The start dates are offered in staggered intervals. This allows us to deal with the children in a positive and attentive manner.
A good settling-in period is the basis for a good relationship with the caregivers in the facility.
Each child has his or her own pace and way of dealing with the development of a bond.
The acclimation is complete when the child moves safely and independently in the Gruooe and finds its way around in everyday life.
Focal points and activities in the nursery
We see the children as little conquerors of their environment. They discover it with all the skills, strengths and weaknesses they have brought with them.
With their innate curiosity, children learn casually, playfully and with all their senses from the very beginning. We see ourselves as developmental companions in this process by observing, accompanying and encouraging it.
Project work lends itself well to our nursery because we work "partially open". This means that we have a group at drop-off time and a group at pick-up time. Here both groups are united. Our projects are time-limited, age-specific and planned differently (language, motor skills, creativity, etc.).
Diapering always contributes to a loving relationship between child and educator. When changing diapers, it is important to us that this takes place in a low-stimulus and calm situation. In order to allow the child to feel and perceive its physical processes, we do not change the diapers according to a schedule, but as needed.
In our nursery there is a bed or a sleeping nest available for each child.
This bed is also reserved for only one child and accompanies him/her until the end of his/her time in the nursery or until he/she no longer demands sleep.
All children can go to sleep according to their needs and rhythm, i.e. those who already need their sleep in the morning may lie down.
