Introduction/specifics

Our AWO Buntspechte (Woodpeckers) daycare center offers children aged 1 to 6 a place to grow, discover, and feel at home. The daycare center is currently housed in modern modular units beneath the Kastanienhof Elementary School in Oberhausen-Rheinhausen.

The location is ideal: The bird park, a large playground in a green setting, and paths perfect for walks and nature observation are all in the immediate vicinity. This allows the children to gather new experiences in nature every day and actively explore their environment.

Our educational approach focuses on holistic development, individualized support for each child, and social growth within a loving and supportive environment.

Starting in 2026, a new, shared daycare center will be built together with the AWO Wiesenpieper (Meadow Pieper) daycare center – a modern educational and community hub with ample space for children, families, and collaborative learning.

• Modern containers as an interim solution
• Proximity to the bird park, large playground, nature trails
• Holistic education, individual support, social development

Overview

Please note:

• Children can only be registered for a place after birth. Visits to the facility will also only take place after the child's birth and by prior arrangement with the facility management.
• Children whose siblings are already enrolled in the facility will be given priority for placement.
• A prerequisite for placement is residency or registration with the local authorities in our municipality. Registration is also possible if you are planning to move to the municipality: Please fill in your current address on the registration form, select "Yes" in the "Planned Move" field, and enter your planned moving date.
• To increase your chances of securing your preferred childcare place, you can inquire at several facilities. To indicate your preference, you can assign a priority in the childcare information section of the inquiry form (e.g., Priority 1 = 1st choice). A maximum of three inquiries can be submitted simultaneously.
