Rooms

The premises of the kindergarten group are located in the basement of the house and extend over 125 m² of playable space, divided into different rooms and areas. The areas include the entrance area with parents' corner and checkroom, a preschool area, a doll corner, and a ball pool. The tour continues into the group room with a construction area and a reading corner, a studio, a research area, and an additional room that can be rearranged at any time.

The rooms of the nursery extend over the upper floor. This includes a checkroom with an adjacent movement hallway, a group room with a second level, construction area, doll corner and a reading sofa. Behind this is the dining kitchen, the bedroom, the washroom, and a studio.

In addition, the music room is located on the upper floor, as well as a large hallway where the common morning circle takes place.

Outdoor Facilities

The outdoor play area offers the children many opportunities to act out their urge to move and to experience limits. It includes several sandboxes, a nest swing, a climbing frame and a slide. There is also a water course, wooden horses and a large playhouse that connects the two areas of the nursery and kindergarten.

Another outdoor play area is our large courtyard space. The large area is particularly well suited for driving our many different vehicles.

The children have a variety of materials available to them in the outdoor area, such as balls, ropes, vehicles and chalk.

Daily Schedule

A clear daily routine with rituals gives the children structure, security and orientation, so that they can make optimal use of the intervening free spaces. Changes in the schedule or rituals are, if possible, explained or discussed and planned with the children.

Food

In the kindergarten group, each child brings his or her breakfast from home. Tea and water are available to the children on the dining table at all times. Lunch, which is supplied by Apetito, is provided by the facility at an additional cost of €2.50.

In the crèche group, the pedagogical staff prepares breakfast, which is eaten together with the children. This is prepared fresh daily and costs € 0.50 per breakfast. Lunch is €2.50, the same as in the kindergarten.

Lunch is prepared gently in a steamer so that vitamins and nutrients are optimally preserved in the food. In order to strengthen the sense of community and to facilitate a culture of eating, we place great value on eating lunch together within the groups.

We supplement the meals with fresh fruit and vegetables from the fruit and vegetable basket, which the families bring in turn.

Additional Offerings

In addition to activities in the free play phase, we offer the kindergarten children weekly music lessons, which are held by an in-house specialist. In small groups, the children get to know the world of music through play and can familiarize themselves with various instruments.

In addition, with our premises, the outdoor play area and the gymnasium, we offer the nursery and kindergarten children a wide range of different movement opportunities, allowing the children to develop their many skills, perceive their senses and learn holistically.

Cooperations

The cooperation with the nature park school in Niederhof and the colleagues from the other kindergartens in the school's catchment area is based on a good conceptual foundation that we have developed together. We work hand in hand and are in contact throughout the year.

We also cooperate with the "Mooszwerge" farm and forest kindergarten. We visit each other and undertake and celebrate some activities and festivals together.

Teamwork with parents

For us, close cooperation and consultation based on trust between parents, other important caregivers of the children and ourselves is the foundation of a successful educational partnership.

Our daycare center is a place of encounter where we treat each other in a friendly, appreciative and respectful manner. We listen to the concerns of families and try to tailor our services to their needs.
