Kindergarten & Preschool

The parents and the pedagogical staff work closely together in the education, upbringing and care of the child. In order to ensure a trustful cooperation, the parents and educators are in dialogue with each other.
On the one hand, through the “talks in the hallway “, in which the parents and educators can exchange brief information every day.
On the other hand, there is the possibility of individual conversations. These conversations are desired and encouraged by the educational team. During these talks, the parents are informed about the status of their child’s learning and development process. This includes an anamnesis interview, a familiarisation interview and once a year a detailed development interview.
The parents support this process by openly informing the educators about changes in the family, the social environment or about educational difficulties. The parents are regularly informed about the activities within the nursery. This is done through notices and announcements. Parents’ ideas and suggestions are welcome and encouraged.

Supporting the children in the acquisition of all competences through:

– Support of curiosity and promotion of individual interests
– Development of preferences for play and other activities
– Perception and expression of own needs and feelings
– the social integration within the group, feeling part of it, loved and respected
– age-appropriate support and promotion of independence
– Creation of free space in which the child can decide what it wants to do and in what way
– learning to take personal responsibility for his actions
– the experience that tasks and problems can be solved by their own efforts
– the discovery of your own rhythm between activity and relaxation
– Promotion and development of all senses such as sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste

Sleeping:
The common sleeping and resting phase is from 12.30 to 14.00 hours. Falling asleep can be made easier by bringing along cuddly toys, dummies, etc. The sleeping arrangement is accompanied by the educational staff.

Changing, care:
When changing diapers we follow the rhythm of the children. The parents bring along the diapers, additional care products and a change of underwear.

Food:
Each child receives a lunch, which can also be pureed if necessary.

We want to support the children holistically and take up their current interests. Free play is our priority and takes up the largest part of the daily routine. In the case of guided offers, we take into account the level of development of the individual children and whether the interest is there. Offers take place at regular intervals. A targeted activity lasts about 10 – 20 minutes, depending on how long the interest lasts, when possibilities are exhausted and whether concentration is still present. It is very important to us that the children are given a lot of freedom within an activity and can bring in their own ideas.
