Basics

I'm there in kindergarten...

... where someone is waiting for you with joy,

... where I'm allowed to make mistakes,

... where I have room to dream,

... where I am allowed to laugh and cry,

... where I am petted,

... Where I can say anything,

... where I can sing, play and learn,

... Wherever there's a place for me,

... where someone listens to my sorrows,

... where I'm allowed to be quiet,

... where someone shares my joy,

... where someone helps me eat,

... where I am comforted,

... Where I can put down roots for a while,

... where I can live for a short time of my life's journey!

"Every child is unique just the way they are!"

Cooperations

In order to ensure optimal development for the children, we work together with various institutions. These include:

• Elementary school
• Public health department
• Dentist
• Therapists such as: speech therapy, occupational therapy and remedial education
• Early intervention centre
• Youth welfare office
• Educational Counselling Centre
• Other kindergartens of the municipality and the district

Teamwork with school

Our cooperation "school" takes place with the Schlossschule Immendingen. Here, our school beginners visit our cooperation teacher at regular intervals and get to know the processes, premises and requirements of the school in a playful way.

Teamwork with parents

Openness, honesty and transparency in the cooperation with parents is very important to us. Parents have the opportunity to accompany us and their child in everyday life 4 times in the course of a kindergarten year. Parent meetings are held annually from the child's 4th and 5th birthday. In the case of developmental abnormalities that require immediate action, we approach the parents promptly.
The parents' council is elected anew at the beginning of each kindergarten year. This supports the kindergarten teachers inside and outside the facility. It also serves as a "language ear" for the entire parenthood.
About 4 parents' council meetings take place per kindergarten year. All concerns of both sides are discussed, such as organizational planning of upcoming festivals or concerns of the parents.
