Childcare is provided in 3 - 4 groups, depending on the number of registrations and the age of the children. The groups plan their vacation activities individually and make use of the resources of our facility, external cooperation partners and the possibilities of our social area for external activities and excursions.

During the summer vacations, there are also themed weeks in which activities and projects take place across all groups on the same topic.
