The smooth transition between nursery and kindergarten, as well as close cooperation with the elementary schools, enable a holistic learning environment. Our team attaches great importance to a successful and individual familiarization, as well as a trusting cooperation with parents.
From the very beginning, children are unique individual personalities who, in exchange with their environment, are constantly developing and orienting themselves towards different personalities. Therefore, our actions are characterized by appreciation, empathy and loving interaction with each other by recognizing and respecting the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Eating meals together in a quiet atmosphere has a special significance in our facility. We offer the children health-conscious, balanced and varied all-day meals from our own kitchen. In addition, we have set ourselves the goal of awakening in the children the joy of healthy eating and to apply the knowledge they have acquired themselves.
In times of globalization and multicultural societies, communication is a central element. Good language skills open up new opportunities for children to grasp learning content and make contact with people. Kindergarten children in particular are in a life-shaping phase. They can learn English in a playful, non-coercive and fun way. With the help of our native speakers, we teach the English language using the "immersion" method. Immersion means as much as language bath. A central point is the contextualization. What is said is integrated into an action and clarified with the help of gestures or pointing. Consequently, our children learn the language through a specific situation. Our staff is supplemented by an English-speaking specialist.
As educators, we accompany the developmental path of the children and perceive their needs and create a living environment in which the children can try things out and feel comfortable. In doing so, they learn to realistically assess their abilities and skills, and can consolidate and expand them. We pay special attention to the acquisition of social skills and the teaching of values and norms, which give the children security and support in everyday life. The early introduction to cultural techniques such as reading, writing and first basic mathematical skills characterize our daily pedagogical work and are anchored in the Saxon educational plan. The child's well-being in everyday kindergarten life is our top priority. Only in this way can learning be fun and lead to success. A trusting relationship with the educator plays just as important a role as a positive group feeling. Observations and special learning experiences are recorded in the form of individual documentation (portfolio).
Communication and media skills allow our children to become real explorers and discoverers, with creativity and imagination, in a society that they themselves help to shape. We provide our children with learning situations that are varied and arouse curiosity, taking into account the individuality of each child and focusing on existing abilities.
As an integration facility, we have set ourselves the goal that disabled, non-disabled and children at risk of disability can grow and learn together. Our basic principle is that each child is to be seen and accepted as unique in his or her personality.
We offer crawling afternoons, in the time from 15.30 - 16.30 clock.
