Employee

Our multi-professional team consists of:

3 full-time and part-time nursery teachers, including a manager, 4 full-time and part-time nursery nurses and up to 3 annual interns if necessary.

The house manager, Ms. Hofrichter, works as a specialist in our facility and has also completed additional training as a nursery teacher.

All employees are fire safety assistants and are regularly trained in first aid courses especially for small children.

Mr. Walther supports the facility four times a week, acting as kitchen assistant and carrying out minor janitor tasks.

“We are a community of volunteers and full-time employees who work together in a spirit of trust.

Our interaction with each other is characterized by respect and consideration.” (Quote from the mission statement of Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V.)

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance and quality development measures

All JUH facilities in Bavaria are subject to the Johanniter quality management system and are certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 by TÜV Süd.

Within the quality management system, all daycare centres define themselves as “learning organizations”. This means that

We react to changes, whether they come from inside or outside.
We reflect on this input and integrate it into our work - this is how we learn both internally and externally.
The old is transformed into the new, which can also mean that we let go of the old.
We ensure that we have the necessary skills to make change processes “digestible”.
All people involved in this process are given the opportunity to contribute their skills, but also to benefit from the skills of others.

Cooperations

Educational counseling centers

On request, we can provide parents with the contact details of our neighboring educational counseling centers. There they have the opportunity to obtain information and advice on questions regarding their child's upbringing and development.

Specialists in the context of inclusion (district)

The educational specialists work closely with prevention-oriented specialist services. For children with an increased developmental risk and (impending) disability, the specialist service offers its services in the childcare facility. The specialist service advises on early identification, additional support measures and referrals and provides guidance.

Youth welfare office

There is close cooperation between the relevant youth welfare offices and the Johanniter children's facilities. The youth welfare office of the respective municipality or city acts as the supervisory authority for the daycare centers. Meetings and training courses are held at regular intervals by the youth welfare office. The Youth Welfare Office informs us about changes made by the Ministry and supports parents in their search for a suitable place. It also offers financial support in individual cases, e.g. by covering childcare and catering costs or other financial expenses (excursions and material costs etc.). We are also happy to put you in touch with the right people if you have any questions about your child's upbringing and education.

Associations, institutions and individuals

Through targeted networking, we aim to support families, create offers for families and expand the children's living environment. The children's facility is not an island, but a meeting place that increases the educational offer and promotes relationship building.

Like many other social institutions, our daycare center is dependent on support and donations of all kinds. We therefore appreciate any financial, material or personal support, no matter how small.

Teamwork with school

Taster internships

As part of a “taster internship”, pupils are offered the opportunity to complete a time-limited internship in various professions. The students are given an insight into the tasks of the profession, e.g. childcare worker/educator, and are assigned smaller tasks in order to determine their potential suitability for the profession. The class teacher of the respective student visits the trainee 1-2 times and, if possible, also conducts an interview with the group leader.

Vocational school for childcare

It is a voluntary decision on the part of the facility to accept trainees from the vocational school. Our daycare center can provide one internship per group. During the internship, the interns are supervised by the group educator and the childcare worker and mentored by a teacher from the school.

Specialist academy for social pedagogy

We can employ trainee educators or Optiprax students from the specialist academies for social pedagogy in our Eichrichtung. In order to make the cooperation between us, the practice center, and the academy as effective as possible, we are invited to the instructors' meeting and informed in detail about the content and objectives of the social pedagogy seminar. The implementation of the practical training plan and its evaluation take place in the institution. We also maintain written, telephone and personal contact with the respective teacher.

Teamwork with parents

Cooperation with parents and/or guardians is very important for successful educational work in our facility. It is the basis for a constructive and cooperative upbringing of the child. Joint activities with parents strengthen the sense of community and give expression to the shared educational responsibility. Parents take an active part in what happens at the facility on a voluntary basis.

Our daycare center does not want to be a facility with high walls, but a house with open doors. It is therefore important for us to work together with other institutions in order to exchange ideas and suggestions and thus enrich and further develop our own work at the facility. It is important to us to inform parents, families and visitors to our facility about our educational work and to make it transparent.

To this end, we display the regularly updated version of our educational plan and a weekly review in the entrance area and in the drop-off and pick-up area of the facility. The educational priorities regularly planned by the teaching staff, which are derived from the Bavarian education and upbringing plan, provide information and insight into the educational work currently taking place. The weekly review makes this clear and provides an insight into the educational areas in which your child has been supported through special activities.

The educational staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Specifics

Our special features

We work hand in hand with Johanniter Kinderkrippe Glückskäfer, so we can also use their gym once a week.

Once a year, there's a very special week consisting of various exciting projects.

There's also a course for children who will be starting kindergarten next year that prepares them for kindergarten. There, they'll learn about basic colors, practice cutting and counting, and much more.

We take part in the annual Kidsmarathon.

We hold a special parade at St. Martin's Day at the wild boars in Oberführberg and much more.

We plan lots of special activities throughout the year and try to involve parents as much as possible.

Parents' council, parents' activities and, above all, getting together at parties/celebrations is very important to us.
 

Parental Interviews

Parent survey

An annual parent survey is one of the most important quality assurance measures. Parents/guardians have the opportunity to comment anonymously on our work at the KiTa. Be it in pedagogical or organizational terms or simply for personal reasons. Many suggestions have already been implemented here and the evaluation and publication of the results is always an opportunity to make the work in the facility more transparent.

Overview

Our registration procedure

Parents can register their children at any time. Parents can find the registration link on our homepage. Registrations during the current educational year are possible in writing (change of residence, family crisis situation, etc.). Children who cannot be accepted due to a lack of places will be placed on a waiting list if the parents so wish. If a place becomes available during the current educational year, there is then the possibility of moving up. Admission to our facility is based on the number of places available. If there are not enough free places available, the following criteria are used for selection, whereby the order of the list makes no statement about the urgency.
