"I have a house, a colorful house..."

(Pipi Longstocking)

Dear parents & interested parties,

Our children's house is colorful and individual - our door is open to everyone!

We live an appreciative and considerate interaction with children, parents, colleagues and cooperation partners,

An open, honest and constructive exchange forms the basis of a positive and successful cooperation.

Nursery team

The pedagogical staff in the children's house consists of nine employees. Individual experiences, interests, talents and the specialist knowledge of each individual make our cooperation varied and interesting. The team is in constant communication with each other and lives a respectful, honest and professional cooperation.

We look forward to meeting you in person!

Rooms

Play, learning and living spaces in the children's house

Our group rooms are inviting and cozy. The rooms are designed to give the children a sense of security and encourage their independence. We make sure that the children can access play and learning materials independently at any time. In order to create stimulation and curiosity, the play materials on offer are changed regularly and according to the needs and interests of the children.

In addition to the group rooms, the respective childcare areas have access to functional rooms with different and changing play activities as well as two gyms and a garden for exploring, playing and learning.

Come and see our children's home for yourself at the open day:

27.01.2024 from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Daily Schedule

Pedagogical daily routine

Routines and rituals help children of all ages to structure their day, develop a sense of time and develop independence. Consistent routines give the children a sense of security and help them to deal competently and calmly with changes in the daily routine.

The pedagogical content of our day is designed and selected according to the educational areas and goals in the Bavarian education and upbringing plan. In our day-to-day life together, however, we attach great importance to flexible structures that adapt to the needs of the children.

The overview table gives you an initial insight into the daily routines of the individual childcare areas.

In addition to the daily routine, some of the kindergarten children or the whole group have the following program points during the week:

Monday & Tuesday à Preschool

Thursday à nature day bird group

Thursday à gym day butterfly group

Friday à Nature day butterfly group

Food

Meals in the children's home

Three meals a day are planned in each educational area:

• Breakfast                                                                       
• lunch                                                                               
• Afternoon snack

Breakfast

Crèche: A varied and healthy breakfast is prepared for the children in the crèche. At breakfast together, the children have a choice of fruit, vegetables, bread, butter, cheese, sausage and jam.

Kindergarten: The flexible breakfast runs parallel to free play time.

During this time, the children can decide when they want to eat and sit down at the breakfast table with other children and eat from their lunch boxes. Before breakfast time ends, all children are reminded to eat breakfast again.

After-school care: During the school vacations, the children eat their own breakfast in our after-school care center.

Lunch

Optionally, a warm lunch can be booked via the Kitafino app. We get the food from the Schwabach catering service Rosmarin. The varied menu can be viewed in the Kitafino app.

Afternoon snack

In the afternoon, the children are given another small snack in the form of fruit, vegetables, fruit puree, yogurt, muesli and crispbread.

Basics

Our pedagogical profile

The image of the child, the Christian view of humanity and our mission statement characterize our educational profile.

At the Kinderhaus St. Sebald and St. Stilla, we treat every child with appreciation and recognition. We see each child as an individual and support them in their everyday life and development.

In our daily routine, we value authentic, empathetic and gentle interaction at eye level with the children, We respond to educational goals according to the situation, paying attention to the individual learning pace of each child.

Through daily observations and observation sheets, we keep an eye on the child's development and need for support. The design of the KiTa's everyday life is characterized by participation and the reality of life of the target group:

Children's wishes, opinions & needs are taken seriously and taken into account in daily life together. Our educational work is constantly evolving, with the focus always on the well-being of the children.

Image of the child

The Bavarian Education and Upbringing Plan (BEP) describes the newborn as a "competent infant" who begins to explore its environment and interact with it immediately after birth. Children are the designers of their own development, they are designed for self-determination and self-activity. In line with their development, they take on responsibility and constantly learn new things through their curiosity and their urge to explore and discover. Each child's personality and individuality sets them apart from other children.

The work of the Kinderhaus team is based on the current image of the child in the Bavarian education and upbringing plan. The starting point for our pedagogical activities and our individual image of the child are the following assumptions (see picture: how do we see the children?).
