Introduction/specifics
About the facility
The municipal after-school care centre is located in the side building of the Michael Poeschke primary school in Erlangen's Südstadt district.
The HoLiSt after-school care centre has an open concept for 100 after-school places and increasing places for the cooperative all-day programme. The first all-day course began in September 2023, with an additional 100 all-day places from September 2026.
The after-school care centre takes part in the "cooperative all-day education" model project. This includes organising and offering extracurricular activities in cooperation with the school. These are organised by educational specialists and teachers. Both institutions should continue to develop into a joint educational facility that serves as a living and educational space for both the pupils in the all-day classes and the pupils in the after-school care centre.
As part of our cooperation with Lebenshilfe Erlangen e.V., we work together with the partner classes of the Georg Zahn School. The HoLiSt after-school care centre offers inclusive places in the tried-and-tested concept that has been successfully implemented at the MPS since 2017. Through the partner class model, the school makes an important contribution to inclusion. Pupils from both classes have some lessons together and both classes benefit greatly from this joint approach.
Due to the close proximity, there is close cooperation between the after-school care centre and primary school. Activities and room utilisation are coordinated.
The term "after-school care centre at school" refers to socio-educational facilities that are housed directly and immediately in school buildings. In its function, it is to be understood as an institution that supplements and supports the family. The work in the after-school care centre is carried out under the aspects of Care, education and upbringing.
The focus of the after-school care centre's educational work is on homework supervision and leisure activities. In the context of homework supervision, a holistic but also differentiated support approach is to be realised. The guiding principle: help for self-help. Educational leisure activities focus on art and culture, science, sport and experiential education. The development of age-appropriate social skills and finding one's way in a socio-cultural environment are of fundamental importance to us.
During the holidays, a varied holiday programme is offered both inside and outside the facility.
