Introduction/specifics

Dear parents,

Small but nice - that is our kindergarten consisting of two groups

consisting of two groups, which impresses with its

character. Every team member is

contact person for you, as the exchange of information

about the children and the daily routine is clear and

clear and manageable.

We would like to give the resulting peace and time to your

child:

Time to play, time to try things out, time to

time to observe...

This is also the reason why we avoid excessive projects and

projects and activities, which are often "time wasters"

and thus disturb a calm, clear and appreciative

appreciative space for the children and prevent them from

intensive activities.

As a Protestant kindergarten, we are naturally

closely involved in the life of the Penzendorf community.

Thanksgiving, the lantern procession, village Christmas and the

Easter pyramid are fixed components of our

kindergarten year. A highlight for every child is the

celebration at the end of the kindergarten year.

It goes without saying that our kindergarten is open to all

children, regardless of their origin or their

affiliation to a church or religious community.

We look forward to your visit or your call.

And we especially look forward to welcoming your child!

The forest and our "robbers' den"

The robbers are on the loose:

In spring and fall, we move the kindergarten to the forest

into the forest for a week each year. In addition

our children can register for the weekly forest days on Thursdays and Fridays.

forest days on Thursdays and Fridays.

We start off with a rucksack, a seat mat and a snack. Then

the little robbers head back into the forest.

The forest area invites with adventurous forest places

inviting. The old ravine, the new ravine, the robbers'

Hotzenplotz house and our robbers' cave at the edge of the forest:

sky-blue on four wheels - our construction trailer, which serves as our

as a shelter in bad weather.

Daily Schedule

The children's assembly is an important meeting point for the children. At 9.00 a.m., all the children gather in their respective groups and greet each other with a joint song.
