Introduction/specifics

About Us – Drei-Rosen Kindergarten

The Drei-Rosen Kindergarten was established in 1993 using timber-frame construction and was built within just a few weeks. It is located in the Neustadt district of Moosburg. The name "Drei-Rosen Kindergarten" is inspired by the city's coat of arms, reflecting the tradition and connection to the region.

Our Facility – For Children Aged 3 to 6 Years

We care for a total of 65 children aged three to six years. These children are divided into two regular groups and one integrative group, where they are supported and guided by qualified and dedicated educational professionals. Each group receives individual care to help them thrive and grow in a safe and nurturing environment.

Opening Hours and Care

Our opening hours begin at 7:15 AM and end at 4:45 PM, offering flexible care options for both children and their families.

After-School Care for Schoolchildren

In addition to the kindergarten, we also offer after-school care for schoolchildren. This means that children can be cared for and supported pedagogically in the same building for up to 9 years, providing continuity and a familiar environment that helps ease the transition from daycare to school.

Our goal is to offer children a stable, loving, and educational environment where they feel comfortable, learn, and develop.

Outdoor Facilities

Our Outdoor Area – An Adventure for the Children!

Spending time outdoors is a central part of our daily routine, as we know how important it is for the well-being and development of the children. Our expansive outdoor area offers children in both the kindergarten and after-school groups numerous opportunities to connect with nature and be active.

A Paradise for Explorers:
The garden is a true adventure land! Here, children can run, swing, climb, jump, and play football to their heart’s content. Whether racing across the large grassy areas or discovering secret corners for digging, the garden offers endless play opportunities. At the same time, there are cozy retreat spots where children can unwind and relax.

Playing in the Open Air:
In addition to the garden, the children also have access to a large terrace. Here, they can play, craft, or come up with their own creative games in groups during nice weather.

We create an environment where children can not only engage in physical activity but also develop social skills, teamwork, and creativity. The diverse outdoor activities support not only physical development but also mental and social growth.

Daily Schedule

Our Daily Schedule – Structure and Security for the Children

A structured daily routine is of great importance to children as it provides them with a sense of security and comfort. By incorporating fixed structures and rituals into our daily schedule, we address these needs. The routines and rituals are always adapted to the current age group, developmental stage, and individual needs of the children. Our daily schedule not only fosters a sense of security but also allows the children to freely explore and discover their world.

Food

Shared Meals – A Place for Sensory Experience and Childlike Curiosity

In our facility, we create an environment where children can discover their natural curiosity and experience the concept of food with all their senses. We encourage a valuable and conscious engagement with food by offering flexible meals in our everyday pedagogical practice. These meals not only provide an opportunity to eat but also allow children to actively participate in the shared meal process.

Our Meals in Detail:

• Flexible/Shared Breakfast
• Shared Lunch
• Flexible Snack (Afternoon)

The flexible meals always begin with a small group. The educators consciously initiate the start of the meal and ask the children whether they would like to begin with breakfast or the snack. The meal times are accompanied by established rituals and rules, providing the children with structure and security.

Choice and Responsibility
During the meals, children have the freedom to decide when and with whom they want to eat. They also have the opportunity to choose what and how much of the offered food and drinks they would like to take. All children are invited to join the table together, creating a sense of community and connection.

Healthy Nutrition Partners
We place great importance on providing healthy and balanced meals and collaborate with carefully selected partners to offer children a diverse and nutritious menu. In doing so, we not only support their physical health but also raise awareness about good eating habits.

Our meals are more than just an opportunity to eat – they are a valuable learning experience where children are actively involved in the process and can discover the joy of healthy eating.

Basics

Our Mission Statement – The Foundation of Our Work with Your Child

In our facility, the mission statement is more than just a concept – it is the foundation that guides and shapes our daily work. We base our actions on clear values that help us provide the best care and support for each individual child. This is what it means to us:

Together, Not Alone – A Respectful and Loving Environment
At the heart of our work is a loving and respectful atmosphere. The kind and respectful interaction between the children, their families, and our educational team is essential to us. Only through a strong sense of unity can we create an environment in which every child feels safe and secure. Here, children are free to develop their unique personalities and follow their own individual developmental paths.

Every Child is Unique – We Treat Them with Respect and Appreciation
We view every child as an individual with their own strengths, needs, and interests. Our role is to support them in their development, offering them the space they need to grow, explore, and learn. Children should not only feel well cared for but also have the freedom to live out their curiosity and try new things.

Fostering Curiosity – Exploring the World with Wonder
We create an environment that sparks curiosity and encourages children to embark on new adventures. Through targeted activities and an inspiring setting, we provide children with opportunities to explore their world and ask questions. We are always there to help them find answers and face new challenges in a creative way.

Empathy and Trust – Educational Professionals as Guides
Our educators are more than just knowledge transmitters – they are compassionate companions on each child's journey. With heart, patience, and a listening ear, they help build the children's trust in their own abilities. It is particularly important to us that the children feel understood and comfortable in our care – we create a space where they can express their feelings and feel safe to unfold.

Confident into the Future – Shaping Strong Individuals
Our goal is to help children grow into self-confident, balanced, and creative individuals. We guide them in developing self-assurance, overcoming challenges independently, and facing the future with joy and optimism.

In our facility, we offer more than just a place for learning and growth – we provide a home for your child, where they feel secure and supported in their development. Together with you, we aim to give your child a strong foundation for life.

Close collaboration helps us ease transitions and changes for the children, ensuring their development is supported in the best possible way. The cooperation with primary schools and after-school care is particularly important in this regard.

Our Goals for Collaboration

The main goal of our collaborations is to support the individual and optimal development of each child. We maintain regular communication to better understand the needs of the children and address them in a targeted manner.

Teamwork with parents

Our Goals for a Successful Parenting Partnership

At our facility, we place great importance on building a close and trusting relationship with parents. A strong partnership between parents and educational professionals is essential to best support the children's development. Our goals for a successful parenting partnership include several measures to promote communication and collaboration:

Building a Trusting Foundation

We aim to establish open and trusting communication between parents and our team. We achieve this through:

• Registration and Reflection Conversations: At the beginning and during the year, we offer conversations to ensure each child receives individual support.
• Quick Chats (Doorstep Conversations): Informal brief conversations during the day to provide parents with updates and clarify any questions.
• Parent and Development Meetings: Regular meetings to discuss the child's development and set goals together.

Transparency of Educational Processes

We want to keep parents well-informed and provide insight into the educational work happening in our facility. We do this through:

• Information Boards: Our information boards provide parents with important details about current topics and projects.
• Parent Newsletters: Regular letters keep parents updated about upcoming events and news from the facility.
• Parent Evenings: These events offer parents the opportunity to learn more about the facility's work, ask questions, and connect with other parents.

Enabling Participation

Parents are an important part of our community, and we encourage them to actively engage in the life of the facility. We invite them to participate in various festivals and events and to help us shape the activities.

Offering Feedback Opportunities

We value the exchange with parents, which is why we regularly conduct parent surveys. This allows parents to share their opinions and suggestions to further improve the partnership.

Through these measures, we create a trusting, transparent, and collaborative environment that benefits both parents and children, fostering positive development.
