We are a facility for 78 (max. 80) children aged 2.5-10 years.

There are targeted educational offers in the groups every day, which are based on the Bavarian education plan. For our long-term bookers, we regularly offer promotions in the various educational areas in the afternoon.

Children can be reserved for a place with us from the time of birth.

Peducational importance of interior design

We attach great importance to the design of our rooms. Our children are actively involved in this. In our view, the atmosphere and the room layout of a daycare center already play a major educational role. They challenge children to play and learn, but at the same time offer the opportunity for retreat and relaxation. It is not for nothing that the reform teacher Maria Montessori described rooms as "secret co-educators".

Uour room concept

Until the completion of our new daycare center, we moved into the Bibert elementary school. A large classroom is available to each group. We have divided these into different functional areas such as puppet corner, creative corner, building corner and rest zone. They offer enough space and equipment for the respective activities.

Our entrance area is used by the children as a variable play area as well as for group-wide offers. At the same time, it is a meeting place for parents, children and educators and is redesigned and used for joint celebrations and actions.

Hall

The group rooms offer space and opportunity to eat, Free play, handicrafts, building, role playing with materials, watching books and relaxing.

space group

In the building corner, the children are encouraged to play and learn in a variety of ways. You can use different building materials together in free play.

In the cozy corners, the children have the opportunity to pull back and relax. Here you can also look at picture books or play with cuddly toys.

Comfort Zone

Educational content

The basis of our educational work is the situation-oriented approach and the Bavarian education and upbringing plan (BEP).

We use the influences from the different educational directions (Montessori / Reggio) and use the right materials for our children.

Regular further and advanced training is an important part of our educational work. We understand parents as partners and customers whose individual expectations and needs we want to satisfy.

The educational areas of the Bavarian education plan are implemented in our pedagogical work:

Children depend on building trust-building basic experiences that will last them a lifetime. We grant them the necessary forms of expression to be able to process the entire spectrum of their own experiences positively.

Positive reinforcement of the children with offers and in day-to-day care
Implementation of participation of all children in group circles and children’s conferences
Everyone is important and a Part of the group
Free space for individual discussions and active listening

Emotional and social skills are a prerequisite for children to learn to live in a social community.

Individual integration of new children in the familiarization phase
Assumption of social responsibility in group services

In childhood, exercise is indispensable to give space to the children’s natural urge to move, to improve well-being and motor skills, and to ensure healthy development.

Health promotion is a process that aims to give children a greater degree of self-determination about their health.

Issues like body awareness and nutrition are brought closer to the children through regular projects (e.g. health week, raw food day in kindergarten and joint preparation of meals)
Approaching a food culture: maintaining table manners and social relationships during meals together
Participation in the school fruit and school milk program
Actions related to security and protection (e.g. fire protection week or visit to the traffic police)

Children naturally have a great urge to research. Her questions signal her curiosity about world events and her own motivation to understand the things in her environment that are still inexplicable to her.

Language skills are not only a prerequisite for a successful academic and professional career, but also for participation in social and cultural life. In our facility, the areas of language and literature are taken up in a variety of ways and treated playfully.

Wide range of games for language promotion

In modern society, the media are decisive factors in public, political, cultural, economic and professional life. Together we reflect on the use of information and communication technology as well as media and support the children in dealing with them.
