Basics

Our Vision at St. Anna Kindergarten
We believe that every child is unique and carries within them their own individual "inner blueprint". With respect, trust and appreciation, we support children in developing their personalities and following their own path.

Our Guiding Principle: "Help me to do it myself." (Maria Montessori)

Our Key Priorities
Every child is warmly welcomed in our kindergarten. To us, inclusion means recognising diversity as a strength and ensuring that every child – regardless of their individual abilities, background, language or stage of development – has a valued place within our community. We create an environment in which all children feel accepted, safe and appreciated, and where they are able to participate in everyday life by building on their individual strengths.

The Montessori approach strongly supports this philosophy. Guided by the principle "Help me to do it myself," we accompany each child with care and attentiveness on their individual learning and development journey. A carefully prepared environment, opportunities for independent exploration and learning, and warm, supportive guidance encourage independence, personal responsibility and a lifelong love of learning – always at the child's own pace.

Overview

A child’s admission to a childcare centre is subject to certain conditions and requires registration via the City of Forchheim’s childcare centre registration portal, followed by a face-to-face admission interview with the parents or guardians at the relevant centre:

1. Decision on admission

• The decision on whether to admit a child to the centre is made by the operator of the relevant nursery, taking into account the centre’s internal admission criteria. The operator may delegate this decision to the centre’s management.

2. Medical certificate

• When registering their child, parents are required to provide proof that the most recent mandatory early detection screening has been carried out. Furthermore, parents are required to provide written proof of consultation regarding the child’s complete, age-appropriate vaccination cover, which must be sufficient in accordance with the recommendations of the Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO).
• From the age of one, written proof of adequate vaccination protection against measles or immunity to measles must be provided (from 1 March 2020).

A place at the centre is only guaranteed once a written education and care contract has been agreed between the parents/guardians and the provider.
