Introduction/specifics

"As long as the children are small, give them the chance to form their roots.  

When they have grown older, give them the freedom to develop wings and fly."

Welcome to the St. Johannis Children's Center!

Our Protestant children's center offers 74 children a place to feel comfortable, play, explore, and grow. In two nursery groups with 12 children each and two kindergarten groups with 25 children each, we lovingly and individually accompany the children on their journey.

Our semi-open concept combines the security of a base group with diverse opportunities to discover their own interests, gain independent experiences, and enjoy a sense of community.

A respectful coexistence, trust, Christian values, and cooperative collaboration with families are important foundations of our work.

We look forward to meeting you and your child!

Basics

Our Educational Focus

Security & Relationships

We create a safe, respectful place where every child feels accepted and can develop individually.

Semi-Open Concept

Fixed home groups provide security. At the same time, different educational and experience spaces allow children to explore, make decisions, and learn independently.

Learning Through Play

In free play, children discover, explore, and learn on their own. Our staff pay close attention and give individual guidance.

Reggio Education

We see children as competent and active participants in their learning processes and respond to their interests, ideas, and questions.

Participation & Independence

Children are heard and involved. We foster self-confidence, personal responsibility, and the feeling of having an impact.

Community & Christian Values

Respect, appreciation, tolerance, and love for others shape the way we interact.

Educational Partnership
Building a trusting collaboration with families is an important part of our educational work.

Our guiding principle: "Building roots – developing wings."
We give children a sense of security and safety, while also giving them the freedom to discover their own path.

Description and Stations

Our children's center is centrally located on the grounds of the St. Johannis church community. It is nestled in a lively environment with the church, parish office, community center, and senior center. This special location allows for a variety of encounters – including between generations – and supports the integration of our facility into the community.

A spacious outdoor area gives the children plenty of room for movement, play, and experiences with nature.

Thanks to good public transport connections, our children's center is easily accessible for families from all over the city.
