Basics

Our inclusive childcare center, Kinderhaus Verklärung Christi, is located in the north of Forchheim and consists of three kindergarten groups, one group for toddlers, and one after-school care group.

Many of the children who attend our center have additional support needs. Therefore, in our work, we place great importance on meeting each individual child, giving them space for personal development, supporting and encouraging them to discover and develop their talents, while also providing guidance, imparting comprehensive knowledge, and helping them acquire social skills.

Another key focus of our center is supporting language development – we are a language-focused childcare center. Our main emphasis is on language learning integrated into everyday activities. In this way, the many children from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds have opportunities to develop their German language skills naturally in their daily routines. Of course, German-speaking children also benefit from this approach.

In addition, a dedicated language specialist works at our center and provides further support for the children’s language development.

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.
