Basics

Our educational approach is based on the needs and developmental stage of the children. We support holistic learning by promoting physical, mental, social, and emotional development and resilience. Through an expanded room concept, cross-group projects, and the opportunity to visit the garden on their own from the age of five, the children independently conquer their free spaces.

Admission to the facility includes a settling-in period for all new children, during which we gently and individually support them in separating from their parents and building a relationship with the group teachers. Depending on the age of the children, this settling-in period lasts four to eight weeks.

Qualification

Our team consists of trained educators and is supported by teaching assistants and FSJ volunteers.

It is important to us to train educators at our facility. We also offer internship opportunities.

News

70 years of Kita Bürgerhaus

Our daycare centre will be celebrating its 70th anniversary on 30 May 2026. We would like to celebrate this special occasion with you at a public anniversary event.

Garden Project with Parents

Together with the parents of our Kita, we were able to beautify our garden area. The swings are gleaming after a frest coat of paint. The benches and playhouses were also repainted. At the entrance to our garden, we renewed the flowerbed and repainted the raised beds. Many thanks to all the hardworking helpers for your support!

Projects

Ear training

Every year, our Schlaufüchse (preschoolers) take part in ear training with Doris. Together, they learn a lot about phonological awareness through themed short stories, varied games and various tasks. Phonological awareness is responsible for understanding the structure of our spoken language and is important for later writing and reading acquisition.

Once a week, small groups meet to learn everything about rhymes, syllable division and initial sounds in a playful way. At the end of the project, all Clever Foxes are honoured with an initial sound breakfast and a small closing ceremony. This ensures that our Clever Foxes start school feeling confident.
