Rooms
Evangelical Reggio Children's House Günzburg – A home for children from the very beginning
Our children's house is a lively place for children and families. We combine a crèche, nursery and after-school care under one roof and look after children from around 12 months up to and including the third year of primary school.
As an evangelical institution, community, mutual appreciation and mindful interaction with one another are particularly important to us.
We work according to the Reggio approach to education and see children as curious, competent and creative personalities who actively shape their world.
We see our rooms as ‘third educators’: they are deliberately designed to encourage exploration, discovery, movement, creativity and relaxation, and are geared towards the interests and needs of the children.
Every child is allowed to learn at their own pace, ask questions, develop ideas and unfold their individual strengths.
Nursery – security, relationships and first experiences
In the nursery area, the focus is on settling into the community.
Manageable spaces, familiar caregivers, clear daily structures and rituals give the children security and orientation.
Age-appropriate materials, areas for movement and places to retreat invite them to discover their environment with all their senses.
Through closeness, trust and reliable relationships, the children experience security and develop their first steps towards independence.
The nursery thus offers a protected environment for first discoveries, relationship experiences and developmental steps.
Kindergarten – Open learning in diverse educational spaces
The kindergarten operates in open functional rooms that offer children a wide variety of learning and play opportunities.
These include a building room, studio, role-play room, gym, mini kitchen, media studio, children's café and communal areas.
The children decide for themselves where, what and with whom they want to engage.
They follow their interests, experiment, move around, engage in creative activities and interact with others.
In doing so, they develop social skills, self-confidence, perseverance and a love of learning.
Educational specialists attentively accompany the children, provide inspiration and support them in developing their own ideas.
In this way, children experience learning as an active, self-determined and meaningful process.
After-school care – settling in, responsibility and participation
The after-school care centre offers primary school children up to and including Year 3 a reliable environment after school where they can settle in, relax and spend the afternoon together.
After lunch together, the children are supervised as they do their homework in a quiet atmosphere.
Afterwards, there is time for free play, creative activities, projects and group activities.
The after-school care children take on responsibility in the centre, contribute their own ideas and participate in activities, celebrations or offerings such as the Glomo children's café.
The after-school care centre promotes independence, participation, community and social responsibility and creates space for personal interests and friendships.
One institution – three age groups – one shared educational philosophy.
A place where children feel safe, are involved and are allowed to follow their own path.
