Introduction/specifics

Rainbow Daycare Centre

"Education is not the filling of barrels, but the lighting of flames" - Heraclitus of Ephesus
In order to ignite the flames of each individual child, we see it as our task to find out exactly where we need to hold the match so that the spark of discovery can become a living flame. Together with the children, we go on a search, inform, explain, accompany and encourage them in their individual and collective educational processes.

 

Special features:

Education requires a bond: "Only if I can trust will I dare!"

If the child feels safe, accepted and in good hands, it can pursue its urge to explore with an open mind. Reliable caregivers, a regular daily routine, stability in the children's group and structured rooms that offer orientation are of great importance in educational work.

Due to the long opening hours, it is not always possible to have a caregiver around all day. This is why we attach great importance to offering the children reliable caregivers in our various areas when organising the duty rosters. This applies, for example, to early morning supervision, morning meetings with the different age groups, in the rooms, when eating, sleeping, resting and so on.

The accompanied transition from the toddler area to the big house is of particular importance in our daycare centre

Children need peers. But they are naturally also interested in what the "grown-ups" can already do. The older ones are admired and are important role models who favour learning by example. We are always looking for ways to enable our children to make excursions from the toddler area into the world of the grown-ups. This should support their joy of discovery as well as facilitate the later transition. It is important to us to offer the children mutual permeability between all age groups.

 

Rooms

In the former primary school building, our centre has been adapted to the needs of children aged 1-6 according to the "Hamburg room design concept". The large, well-organised educational rooms offer plenty of space for up to 70 children. The design of the facility is based on the fundamental idea of our educational concept, which emphasises the importance of children's self-education processes. We always actively support the children in a stimulating environment.

 

Daily Schedule

Daily routine U3

Structures and rituals in the daily routine help the children to organise a variety of impressions and make them manageable. This helps the children to move around safely and increasingly independently.

07:00 - 09:00 Good morning in this house

We open our daycare centre doors at 7:00 am.

To begin with, we spend time together in the early service area.

Thanks to the age mix during this time, our youngest children socialise across age groups right from the start and get to know the first rooms and teachers from the big house. A nursery teacher from the toddler area ensures a familiar atmosphere when taking over and, if necessary, retreats to the toddler area earlier. At the latest at

8.00 a.m. at the latest, we all make our way to our premises. During the arrival time, there is an opportunity for a brief chat about any special incidents or how your child is feeling. This gives us a good start to the day together.

 From 07:00 Free snack

The children decide when, with whom and where they would like to enjoy their breakfast. They are closely supervised by the nursery teachers and supported in their natural urge to be independent.

07:00 - 11:00 Free play, activities, stimuli, getting to know the rooms, garden, ...

The children experience our premises as a safe retreat.

During the course of the day, the children have many opportunities to socialise and pursue their own interests and plans. Both independent and guided research, discovery and experimentation in a rich, stimulating environment lay the foundation for understanding complex relationships. 

During free play, there is plenty of time for singing and making music every day. They learn with and from each other in a sociable group. Depending on the group constellation and interests, short activities such as sensory experiences, colour matching and much more are also offered in this setting.

are offered. This means that they are already familiar with some of the games, songs and rules before they move into the big house. The children can decide for themselves whether they want to take part in these activities.

11:00 - 12:00 Morning children (pick-up time 12 noon)

After free play, the children go on a discovery tour in the big house or in the garden with a teacher from the toddler area. The morning ends with a final round of finger games and songs.

11:00 - 14:00 Lunch and bedtime

Our lunch is delivered by Apetito. The children get to know a wide range of dishes and become increasingly confident and independent in handling cutlery. How long lunch lasts depends on more than just the dishes. If children are tired and express a desire to go to bed during lunch or even fall asleep in the middle of eating, they are immediately escorted to the bedroom. The sleep phase is organised individually. For some children, it is enough to have a carer in the room or a cuddly toy in their arms, while others need a hand or a cuddle.

 

Daily routine Ü3

Structures and rituals in the daily routine help the children to organise a variety of impressions and make them manageable. This helps the children to move around safely and increasingly independently.

07:00 - 09:00 - Arrival at the daycare centre

We open our doors at 7.00 am for the early risers. As a rule, children between the ages of 1 and 6 come together here so that they can socialise across age groups right from the start. During the arrival time, there is an opportunity for a brief exchange about special events or your child's state of mind. The rooms on the upper floor are opened shortly after 8.00 a.m. and are freely accessible to all children.

7:00 -10:30 - Free snack time

The children decide for themselves when and with whom they would like to enjoy their breakfast. There is sliced fruit/vegetables prepared by the children on the table every day. They set their place independently and clear away the crockery after eating. Our youngest children are accompanied and supported during breakfast.

09:00 - 09:15 - Short welcome in a large circle

Now that all the children are in the centre, we start our welcome circle together. We begin with a song. We then discuss the course of the day, upcoming activities, projects, matters of the heart, etc.

09:15 - 09:45 - Cross-age project work / age-homogeneous morning meetings

Monday to Wednesday is time for project work. Topics from individual children or small groups are taken up and made accessible to other interested parties. The children work together to find answers, develop a plan and realise ideas. They are accompanied by the teachers and supported if necessary.

On Thursdays and Fridays, age-specific morning meetings take place in which current topics of the individual groups are discussed. The Frogs children (the link between the toddler area and the big house) meet daily in their age group for circle games, singing, music and smaller projects.

09:45 - 13:00 - Free play in our adventure areas and in the garden

Children learn with and from each other. During free play, they have the opportunity to spend time with their friends and pursue their own interests and plans. Play experiences in a rich, stimulating environment with stimuli lay the foundation for understanding complex relationships.

Pick-up times: According to the registration, the children are seen off by the carers at 12:00, 13:00 and 14:00 and accompanied to the gate.

Lunch: Our lunch is delivered by Apetito. It is accompanied by rituals and offers plenty of room for independence. To create a relaxed atmosphere, the children go to lunch at two different times:

Children who sleep 11:00

Children who are resting 12:00/13:00

The children who sleep have their own bedroom with their own blankets, pillows and pictures designed by their parents. They can make themselves really cosy with a cuddly toy they have brought with them.

A carer is always nearby when the children are sleeping to give them a feeling of security. We deliberately offer quiet activities such as ironing bead pictures, quiet table games and looking at picture books to the children who are resting. Some children look for a cosy place to rest and process the impressions and experiences of the morning. We always endeavour to offer the children a structured daily routine that provides security and orientation. However, the times listed are only approximate and depend on the group situation and staffing.
