Introduction/specifics

Our day care center is a place for children where they can express and develop their entire personality. Other fundamental components of our educational work:

• Working according to the situation-oriented approach
• Free play - promoting self-reliant and independent action and learning
• Project work - promotes and educates in holistic contexts

For us this means:

• Learning through self-awareness, lively learning
• Children and teachers work on the projects together
• Subject-oriented learning, opening up new fields of experience
• Promote social and emotional skills in children

The parents are involved in this process. We see them as competent partners when it comes to bringing up their child together. Working with them reveals many facets in everyday life.

• You can still bring your child to daycare after 9 a.m. We do not lock the front door at 9 a.m.
• The children can have breakfast individually according to their needs. There is no daily shared breakfast.
• We develop and experience projects together with the children. We do not work according to any prefabricated framework plans.
• The children develop their own creativity. We do not offer any templates.
• We are in dialogue with the children and live a democratic relationship. We do not decide on the children, but live participation.
• Our principles are established guiding principles. We do not discuss our pedagogical principles with you.
• We give the children impulses in all areas of life for the development of their entire personality.
