Introduction

Welcome to the HfK Garching!

In September 2017, we opened our new Diakonie Jugendhilfe Oberbayern facility in Garching.
We started with 20 krippen children and added a kindergarten group in October 2018.

Our booking times are possible as follows:
Start: 7:30am or 8:00am (bring time in each case until 8:30am).
End: 15:00hr, 16:00hr or 16:30hr.

Since April 2019 we moved from the container to the new building and started there with 2 krippen groups and one kindergarten group. Since February 2020 we have our, second, long-awaited kindergarten group.

Thus, we are now at a total number of children of 74. A special feature of "houses for children" is that the children are cared for from the krippe to school in one facility. We can offer this for the nursery and the kindergarten. The transition from krippe to kindergarten is very easy because children, parents and staff already know each other and have built up a trusting relationship.

Introduction/specifics

This is a virtual tour of our facility to give you a little insight into our home despite Corona:

Rooms

Die Krippenräume mit anschließenden Wickelräumen finden Sie im Erdgeschoss. Jedes Zimmer hat einen direkten Blick in den Garten. Ebenfalls im EG, direkt am Haupteingang befindet sich unser Bewegungsraum, Toiletten und das Büro der Leitung, sowie das Personalzimmer und die Küche.

Im Obergeschoss begrüßen bunte Farben die Kindergartenkinder. Außerdem befindet sich dort ein Atelier mit Küchenzeile und einem Bad ausschließlich für die Kindergartenkinder.

Die Terasse für den Kindergarten wurde mit einem Rasen bepflanzt und dazu noch  mit einre Sitzgelegenheit für die Kinder erweitert. 

Outdoor Facilities

The garden at the HfK welcomes the children with lots of green meadow space, many hiding places in the bamboo, and the highlight in summer, the water playground. The large slide that leads down the small hill also provides plenty of creative ideas.

In addition, the children can relax on a large nest swing and the climbing frame invites them to romp around. The bobby car race track at the back of the house provides the necessary outlet.

Food

The krippe and kindergarten children are provided with food by us all day.

Lunch is delivered freshly cooked by Ascher Catering and consists mainly of organic products.

Basics

In our institution, the individual child is in the foreground. In our work, we are guided by topics that the children are currently interested in and the learning pace they set for us. We also pay a lot of attention to sufficient movement.

We have begun to incorporate the pedagogical aspects of the Reggio approach into our work.

Another basis for our work is the protection concept, which we developed and wrote down together in June 2019. We always keep this up to date and review it at regular intervals.

The following link will take you to our Diakonie homepage. There you will find our pedagogical concept as well as the protection concept in detail:

Employee

Our employees are always continuing their education in any subject and we make sure that the entire team benefits from this. In addition, we pay attention to a transparent and open atmosphere, which is supported by trust and the ability to accept criticism. Only in this way can we ensure that the children can be optimally cared for and that the cooperation with the parents works.

Teamwork with parents

Working with the children requires good cooperation with the parents. At Haus für Kinder Garching, we achieve this with the approach of educational partnership. We see ourselves with the parents as partners for the child. We see the parents as "professionals" for their children and see ourselves as partners of the professionals. Therefore, it is important to us, especially in the krippe, to give and receive status reports in the morning and in the afternoon. We call this door-to-door conversations.

News

Parental Interviews

Our employees are always open to praise and criticism, as well as comments and concerns. However, some topics are also asked about in our annual parent survey for quality assurance and satisfaction. Here, all parents have the opportunity to anonymously express criticism or give honest feedback to the staff. We also use this survey to further improve our work.

Description and Stations

You will find our House for Children Garching on the northern edge of Garching, just before the TUM at Untere Straßäcker 19.

At the traffic circle after REWE and LIDL you enter a housing estate. Parking spaces are currently available at the roadside.
