Basics

Unsere integrative Einrichtung, das Kinderhaus Verklärung Christi, liegt in Forchheim Nord und umfasst drei Kindergartengruppen, eine Kleinkindgruppe (Krippe) und eine Hortgruppe. Viele Kinder, die unsere Einrichtung besuchen, haben Inklusionsbedarf und so legen wir bei unserer Arbeit viel Wert darauf, jedes einzelne Kind dort „abzuholen“ wo es steht, ihnen Raum für die persönliche Entfaltung zu geben, sie zu fördern um Talente zu entwickeln, aber auch Anzuleiten, ihnen umfassendes Wissen zu Vermitteln und sie soziale Kompetenzen erwerben zu lassen.
Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt in unserem Haus ist die Förderung der Sprachentwicklung – wir sind eine Sprachkita. Unser Augenmerk liegt vor allem bei der alltagsintegrierten Sprachbildung. So finden die vielen Kinder unterschiedlicher Herkunft im Alltag Zugang zur (deutschen) Sprache, aber auch deutschsprachige Kinder profitieren natürlich davon.
Zudem arbeitet in unserem Haus zusätzlich eine Sprachfachkraft.

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.
