Basics

We have space for 85 children from the age of one until they start school. The children are cared for integratively in five groups and a curative education day group.

We attach great importance to participation.

By working together and in cooperation with parents, we teach values and norms. Through play, the children learn to socialize and discover the world together.

Our daily educational work focuses on holistic, everyday and situation-oriented care. We are guided by the integrative approach, the Saxon education plan and the mission statement of our sponsor Lebenshilfe e.V. RV Oschatz.
