Introduction/specifics

"A child is made of a hundred.

A child has a hundred languages, a hundred hands, a hundred thoughts,

a hundred ways to hear, to wonder and to love."


The day care center "Pusteblume" introduces itself

We in Welbhausen are a small, very rural and family-oriented kindergarten near Uffenheim. Our catchment area includes Welbhausen, Wallmersbach, Kleinharbach, Langensteinach, Vorderpfeinach, Custenlohr and Uffenheim.

Our facility consists of two groups, the nursery group "little caterpillars" and the kindergarten group "butterflies", with a total of 42 places for children from one year old until they start school. The places are divided into 30 kindergarten places for children from the age of 3 until school enrollment and 12 crèche places for children from 1 to 3 years. We work according to a partially open concept, which allows us to initiate and facilitate inter-group activities and mutual visits between the children.

Our location, next to the church, in the heart of Welbhausen, also offers us proximity to nature. The rural location of this small village allows us to spend a lot of time in space and in the meadow and to explore our surroundings.

At the moment we have 4 educators, 2 nursery nurses and 1-2 trainees from the nursery school working in the kindergarten and the crèche.

Establishment of the institution

The single-group kindergarten was opened on 01 September 1992. The building used to be the old school building of Welbhausen.

In the spring of 1992, the school building was converted into a kindergarten and inaugurated the following fall. Initially, there were only 25 places in the kindergarten, only much later, in 2012, the kindergarten was granted a room in the old brick building as a multi-purpose room and the operating permit was increased to 30 places. In this course, the glass wing, which connects both buildings, was also built.

 

Rooms

Rooms and outdoor area

The kindergarten group "Butterflies" offers space for 30 children from the age of 2 years and 6 months until they start school.

The rooms of our kindergarten are oriented towards the different needs of the children and, through a variety of play areas, offer each child the opportunity to devote themselves to their self-learning processes and to shape their individual educational and developmental processes.

The entrance area of the kindergarten houses the children's checkroom. From the checkroom, the office of the daycare center management is accessible, as well as the washroom with two toilets at children's height, one of which has a platform that makes it easier for smaller children to go to the toilet.

The kindergarten group room is also accessible through the checkroom. Here, the room is divided into different play and educational areas. Two raised levels provide additional space for other areas. In the center of the group room, a large rug provides space for play activities as well as collaborative group activities.

Directly adjacent to the group room is the kitchen, which is not only used for meals, but is also equipped with a painting and craft corner and tables for activities.

In the neighboring building, above the nursery, is the gymnastics room, which is used by both the nursery and the kindergarten, and can also be used by other groups.

Due to our location directly next to the church, our outdoor area is also located in the church yard and garden. The courtyard offers space to drive vehicles or set up balance courses. The adjacent lawn area houses a large sandbox and other playground equipment, such as a slide, a nest swing, climbing poles and a locomotive. Mud kitchens and our "Villa Kunterbunt" also invite outdoor role-playing.

Food

Breakfast and lunch

Breakfast is "open" in the kindergarten, which means that the children can eat breakfast on their own during a set period of time in the morning. Breakfast is brought from home and should consist of bread topped with butter, sausage or cheese (please no jam or other sweet spreads) and cut fruit or vegetables.

Since we attach great importance to a balanced diet, we are part of the school fruit program and are supplied weekly with fresh fruit & vegetables, since there are unfortunately a maximum of two different varieties in this program, we have increased our fruit plate by a colorful mixed fruit box of the Baumannshof in Obernzenn. From these delicacies, we prepare appealing plates, which the children can help themselves to at any time.

Every Friday, we have a breakfast together with the children, which we prepare into a rich buffet. The ingredients are brought from home. For a good overview we have a list where parents can sign in during the week. It would be nice if everyone would contribute a little something to our breakfast once a month.

Parents also bring lunch from home in a crockpot/pot suitable for the oven. We heat this from 11:30 am at 80°C until lunch time and serve it to the children.
