Concept

Brief Summary of Our Concept

  • Opening hours: 6:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

Preschool Area (Ages 3 to school entry)

  • Needs-oriented pedagogy within a partially open concept and mixed-age groups.

    • 9:00 – 10:00 a.m.: Usually implies "Group Time" in the dedicated group room, including morning circle, birthday celebrations, group activities, etc.
    • Afterwards: Children go to the themed rooms of their choice to participate in activities or engage in free play.
    • Developmental talks are conducted by a qualified educator from the child's reference group.

  • Daily educational activities in various themed rooms.

  • There is a dedicated room for each educational area:

    • Maths + Science: Science room + Construction room
    • Body, Movement & Health: Movement room / Gym
    • Creativity & Design: Art Studio (Atelier)
    • Social Life: Role-play room
    • Music: Music room

Note: The educational area of Language, Communication, and Literacy is integrated across all rooms as a cross-cutting theme and is not assigned to a single specific room.

  • There are also additional facilities:

    • Children's kitchen
    • Children's library
    • Garden
    • Sauna

  • Lunch: Open dining period with several groups; children decide for themselves, in consultation with the educators, when they want to eat.

  • Quiet Time: There are several options for the rest period (resting, sleeping, listening to audio stories, being read to, or looking at books). Children decide for themselves, in consultation with the educators, which form of rest they prefer.

  • Preschool work plays a significant role in preparing children for school; see school starters

Crèche / Nursery (Ages 0 to 3)

  • The crèche works primarily in fixed groups. The rooms are equipped to cover the educational areas appropriate to the children's age and development.
    • Additionally, crèche children have the opportunity to use the rooms of the preschool area, subject to agreement with the educators.
    • There is also a ball pit in the crèche area.
  • In the early morning and late afternoon, groups may be combined.
  • Children in the crèche should also experience their right to participation (co-determination). This is always practiced in an age- and development-appropriate manner, supported by the educators.
