Rooms
The daycare center has 3 groups with adjoining rooms that are assigned to different educational areas that stimulate the child's self-education process and offer age-appropriate, diverse opportunities for play, activity, retreat and movement.
Each group has a washroom and the U3 area has a spacious nappy-changing room. There are also two bedrooms. Here, each child is provided with his or her own bed as a place to rest and sleep.
Among other things, the children have access to a large construction area with many different materials for building and constructing, a car carpet with a parking garage and cars, as well as a variety of laying materials, such as tree discs, cloths, animals, etc. Here, each child is given the opportunity to create his or her own play area. Here, each child is given the opportunity to design his or her own reality, in which the design and the materials offered determine how creatively their own ideas are implemented and which mathematical and physical relationships the children can experience.
The role play area is set up as a "children's apartment" with a kitchen, bedroom and living room and office. It offers the children the opportunity to process experiences and emotions from their own lives through play, to slip into different roles, to experience different perspectives and to engage in intensive play with other children.
The movement room enables the children to actively engage with different materials that encourage movement or to test their abilities in the movement building site and to discover new skills. Here, a wide variety of materials can be used to create a wide range of movement stimuli for the children of the corresponding age groups.
The large hallway area offers the children the opportunity to play, move around and browse through the library. Here they will find a changing selection on the play carpet, enough space to ride the bobby car and mini vehicles, and the bouncy box invites them to jump.
At eye level, children of all ages will find clearly arranged, age-appropriate materials for tabletop games and puzzles on a shelf.
The spacious café in the hallway area is a central contact point, which is used by all groups for breakfast, lunch and a small snack in the afternoon. The café is the central place for meeting and communication in the partially open KiTa. Children of all ages meet here to eat and talk. Above all, the topics of nutrition, health, cooking and baking find a space alongside social and language learning. A traffic light system visualizes the opening hours for the children and the weekly menu is also made clear to the children with photos. The café is also used for guided home economics activities, so that the children have the opportunity to cook and bake once a week or simply to watch.
The creative area offers the children a variety of opportunities for painting, handicrafts and sculpture with different materials, on the wall, on the floor or at the table. It includes a large wet painting area to get creative with brushes and paint, a painting and craft table, as well as a kneading table.
A science area invites each child to be active themselves, to experience and recognize physical relationships. By experimenting with many different materials, the children can consolidate new knowledge, repeat actions again and again, develop things further and differentiate newly acquired knowledge.
Children also need a break. The quiet room (glitter room), offers the children the opportunity to come to rest at any time, to process impressions and to relax. It serves as a place of retreat during free play and can be used for painting mandalas with meditative music, for massaging with different materials, for building caves with pillows and blankets or for looking at picture books.
