Introduction/specifics

In childhood, education and upbringing go hand in hand. Small children can only actively learn and develop positively in an environment in which they feel safe and secure and are given sufficient opportunities to move around every day. The emotional atmosphere and the bond with the caregiver are crucial for the children's development.

Children are highly motivated, creative, concentrated and persevering in one thing when they solve tasks that allow many possible solutions and when they are allowed to make mistakes.

Our pedagogical work is mainly based on the situation-oriented approach. The main objectives are: to promote autonomy, solidarity and skills. During the free play time and with specific offers, the children learn to assess their strengths and skills and develop them further. The role of the educator takes on an observing or supporting role. Through the observations of the educators, children can be strengthened in further educational activities and individually supported.

Examples: Children's conference, free play offers / corners, sponsorships or cross-group work ... Project work Project work according to the situation-oriented approach is the planning and processing of a real-life topic for the children that is known to all participants or that was jointly designed and based on a towards a common goal. The children learn in contexts and can understand activities and place them in their world of experience. The starting point for a project idea is orientation towards the life and experience situation, interests, needs and current wishes of the children. The kindergarten teacher can also make project proposals if the relevant observations are incorporated. A project always includes several activities with one focus.

Rooms

Each of the three groups has a main group room, which is adjoined by a small adjoining room that offers the children a place to retreat. Every room is different and equipped with different play areas so that all children can develop numerous ideas for games. Our entrance hall is also set up in such a way that there are many design options.

Outdoor Facilities

Do you remember where you loved to play as a child? Mostly it didn't take much: water to build dams; Trees and rocks for climbing; Shrubs in which to submerge; Meadows in which you could let yourself fall ... The memory of it is a great treasure that we carry within us throughout our lives. Why actually? Because there we found the freedom to be able to develop our game independently and imaginatively, beyond the preconceived ideas and rules of adults.

Food

In the Protestant Kindergarten Noah's Ark there is a sliding snack in the morning, a warm lunch and an afternoon snack. We take care of the selection of drinks. Lunch will be delivered by a local caterer. The meals are always balanced and prepared taking into account allergies, intolerances, religious beliefs and cultural backgrounds. Our pedagogical approach is to educate children to be independent and autonomous when eating, because children decide as much as possible for themselves. In this way they learn to perceive their needs and to stand up for them.

Employee

The team of the Evangelical Kindergarten Noah's Ark is made up of experienced educators who have made the joy of working with and for the children their profession. The connecting element of all pedagogues is basically the common understanding of pedagogy to support the child in such a way that he can live out, experience and develop his own personality in the best possible way. The child is the focus of our educational work.

Teamwork with school

A successful transition to school is a cooperation between kindergarten and the responsible school in order to make the transition easier for children and parents. The children experience the transition in many different actions. For example: In July the children are invited to school and can attend classes in the first grades. A preschool parents' evening with the primary school is designed and presented for the parents.

Teamwork with parents

Family and kindergarten are jointly responsible for the well-being of children. They both shape the child's development to a decisive extent. Family and kindergarten are formative worlds for children.

• Education and upbringing partnership with families annual development talks
• parent talks Door-to-door conversations
• Observation in the facility intensive and trusting cooperation with the parents' council
• Parents evenings - within the group, in the house for everyone and information lectures
• Information and introductory events

Overview

We warmly welcome every child and family to our home. Admission to our house can take place when the child is 2.6 years old. As a matter of principle, only children who have their main residence in Puchheim are admitted within the framework of the available places. Free spaces are available for which there are no occupancy rights. If there are still places available, places can possibly be given to children from other municipalities in consultation with the city of Puchheim. If families come with children with special needs, we are open to this situation. What the solution will look like will be clarified in various discussions.
