Introduction/specifics

True to the motto “to create a feel-good place for all children,” the educators at the “Oschatzer Heringe” after-school care center work according to a partially open concept. Our goal is to strengthen the children's development into self-determined and responsible personalities. We are guided by the Saxon educational plan in order to support the children in their learning in a holistic and playful way.

Rooms

Each group has its own after-school room, which offers a variety of play ideas. Each room also has the function of a theme room. This means that each group room has an additional area in which targeted learning and play incentives for a specific topic await the children. For example, there are numerous opportunities to experiment in the research zone, plenty of building materials in the construction room and all kinds of craft materials and tools in the creative room.

The following theme rooms are available to children:

• Games room
• Construction room
• Creative space
• Music & movement
• Club room
• Discovery zone
• Computer room

Outdoor Facilities

Our after-school care center has a spacious outdoor area that is divided into two areas and offers a variety of play and exercise opportunities.

In the front yard, a soccer field, a climbing frame, a table tennis table, a ball-over-the-line field and a large circular path for vehicles invite you to move around and run around. If you run out of breath, you can rest and relax on the many seating options or in the playhouse. There are three large sandboxes available for our builders to freely use. There are lots of play materials to discover in our spacious shed. A highlight are our large, lovingly designed board games that decorate our yard.

The backyard offers children a small soccer field, a basketball hoop, a swing, a table tennis table and small climbing equipment. Here too, there are many seating options to relax and linger.

Both areas have large green areas and many different trees and bushes so that our children can always be in touch with nature and discover the world with their own eyes.

Daily Schedule

schooldays

After school ends, the children in a class are usually accompanied to their after-school room by their teacher. The children spend their time together in the group until 2 p.m. During this time they go to lunch, complete their homework and pursue their interests in free play. Our open work begins at 2 p.m. (except Wednesday). The children are free to decide which theme room and which teacher they would like to go to. On Wednesdays the children are not given any homework and it is a group afternoon in the after-school care center. On this day the children can do special activities in their groups. The work of the educators is based on the Saxon education plan.
