Introduction/specifics

Located in the district of Burg-Birkenhof, we are a kindergarten with a long tradition in a quiet location. Our new building offers modern care facilities on 2 floors with 3000 m² of outdoor area.

We care for children under three years of age (U 3) and children over three years of age (Ü 3) under one roof, but in separate areas.

In U 3 we work in a closed concept with 2 groups and in Ü 3 we offer a partially open concept with small reference groups.

We place special emphasis on movement, nature education, music and an explorative attitude.

We use high-quality play materials and consumables and pay attention to an appealing design of the rooms with a stimulating character and opportunities for retreat.

Our subject areas in Ü 3 are the workshop, the colour island, library, role play, research, building, gymnastics, bistro, garden and forest.

Every Friday, we sing and play with all the children in our assembly hall in the "Chörle" (singing circle).

We are certified as a House of Little Scientists

For children starting school, we offer cooperation with the primary school, a programme for children starting school and French on a voluntary basis.

Food

In the morning, the children eat the breakfast they have brought with them in the bistro. There, they are looked after by an educator. Conversation groups and cheerful situations develop. The children rinse their plates independently and leave their place clean for the next child.

For birthdays, the children bring cake, ice cream or other treats for their celebration. Otherwise, sweets of all kinds stay at home.

We participate in the EU school fruit programme supported by the state of Baden Württemberg and offer organic fruit, which we either offer in an appetising way or prepare and process in offerings with the children.

Lunch is delivered freshly cooked daily by the company "Kinderleicht genießen". The order is placed online by the parents.

It consists of soup or salad, a main course and a dessert.

Table rituals, such as saying a common saying, using cutlery, staying seated, talking while listening to the other child or clearing the table, etc. are very important to us.

Basics

Trusting togetherness opens up the world to us!

We see the children as growing personalities with their own interests and needs. At Burger Kinderhaus, children learn to move in a group, to develop, to contribute and to adapt.

These basic experiences are important for a healthy psychological balance and success in later life.

With attention, openness and clarity, the pedagogical staff offers a variety of opportunities for your children to develop a positive self-image and experience self-efficacy. We therefore promote perception and movement in particular.

The children have many opportunities to pursue their own interests.

Our pedagogic specialists work according to the orientation plan for education and upbringing of Baden - Württemberg and according to developmental psychological findings.

A prerequisite for a successful educational partnership is regular and trusting exchange and close cooperation between you as parents and the pedagogical staff.

We place particular emphasis on the settling-in period, during which we work closely with you as parents.Please take into account in your time planning that the settling-in period in U 3 usually lasts 6-8 weeks and in Ü 3 2-4 weeks.

After all, the basis of all learning is a good bond and a feeling of security and trust in the child. We also offer the first day of school program and French on a voluntary basis.
