Welcome to the Roman Catholic nursery school "Regenbogenland" ( rainbow country)
Our institution is situated roughly 6 kms outside the city of Damme in the village of Osterfeine - in a rural area wich grants a lot of space both in the house and outside in the playground.
The children in our care love physical exercise and they enjoy making use of all the space avaiable to them.
That is why we hold a professional certificate für physical/therapeutic exercise.
A lot of space is available to us - both in the creche and in the kindergarten.
The creche is situated upstairs. There is a spacious, bright room for group activities, a restroom, a bathroom as well as a hall. There is a lot of flexibility in how to use the rooms, making it possible to support the children and see to their individual needs constantly.
The kindergarten is downstairs. It comprises 4 rooms for group activity, a spacious gym, a hall, a ball pool, a mud room, a construction/installation space, a disco as well as our cafeteria for the kids with an adjoining kitchen.
We have fitted our rooms with as little furniture as possible, but as much material equipment as necessary. This adds to the impression of open, spacious rooms, stimulating the children to do physical activities - and making them possible. Moreover, all the upstairs and downstairs rooms for group activities as well as the construction space and the gym have motor skill centres.
There is an extra staff room plus an office for the management.
"Outdoorgames clear your mind"
Our outdoor area comprises roughly 2000 square metres. It has been built into a close-to-nature playground with a huge sand play area including a water pump, trees and tree trunks providing many facilities for climbing, bushes offering a lot of reteat options, swings, gymnastics bar and slide. Besides, there is a construction trailer - wich the children love.
We have planned the outdoor area close to nature to simulate the children to watch nature, to collect natural material, to be amazed by natural phenomena, to experience nature.
We are not strictly limited to the actual outdoor area, because we can always take advantage of a forest situated opposite our institution. Here, too, we can trace nature.
It is important to us to help the children discover nature as a habitat for plants and animals, to make them aprecciate nature and to have a chance to learn about nature as much as they would like to learn about it.
The children in our care are welcome from 7.30 a.m.
To begin with, there is time in the group to start the bday and a long period for individual play/games.
Living together every day, we particularly aim at supporting the children in our care and to see to their individual needs. We always focus on the children´s ideas and experiences. They are integrated into the curriculum and can be extended into special projects In that way, children learn on their own initiative and motivation. thus, we specifically encourage educational processes as well as the individual development and self education of children. (This is called situation- oriented education)
The children in the creche bring their own breakfast. When they are hungry - experience has shown that when the first child takes out his or her breakfast, all the others will do the same - we sit down and have breakfast together. Milk and mineral water are offered, supplied by the institution.
Later, we also offer a light snack, wich might be e.g. fruit or crispbread.
In the downstairs kindergarten area, there is a cosy cafeteria for the children. In he course of the morning, the children go there to eat their own breakfast. Drinks are provided. There is fresh milk, herbal or friut teas and mineral water.
Once a month we offer a plentiful buffet of health food. The groups take it in turns to prepare this buffet.
Lunch is delivered by "Curom" from Neuenkirchen. Parents must enrol their children for lunch - the children in all-day-care have their lunch together in the quiet and cosy atmosphere of the cafeteria.
