Learning with Joy
In the early years, emotions and thinking are closely connected. Children learn most successfully when curiosity, joy and fun are part of the learning process.
Through purposeful, age-appropriate learning experiences, we support each child’s language, cognitive, motor, creative and social development.
Our Educational Approach
In our educational work, we combine learning through play with purposeful, age-appropriate support. We create a stimulating, Montessori-inspired environment where children can explore independently, ask questions, recognise connections and acquire new knowledge. We support each child attentively and take their individual stage of development into account.
Free play and guided learning activities complement one another throughout the day. We support children’s development in language and communication, early mathematical thinking, nature and the environment, movement, creativity, social skills and independence. Familiar routines, clear structures and a wide variety of learning experiences give children a sense of security and support lasting learning.
A key focus of our educational programme is bilingual learning in German and English. Children encounter both languages naturally in their daily interactions, conversations, songs, stories, games and projects. In this way, they expand their vocabulary, develop a love of language and become open to different cultures and forms of expression.
Through warmth and security, professional guidance and a varied educational programme, we create the foundation for children to develop their abilities, build self-confidence and start kindergarten well prepared.
Educational Goals and Values
Our aim is to support children in becoming confident, curious and responsible individuals. In a stimulating and clearly structured environment, we develop their language, cognitive, motor, creative and practical skills. Children learn to ask questions, make connections, find their own solutions and turn their ideas into action. In this way, they build essential skills that strengthen them in everyday life and prepare them well for kindergarten.
Independence is also a key part of our educational approach. Whether getting dressed, setting the table, cooking, baking, tidying up or helping in the garden, children take on age-appropriate responsibilities. They discover that their actions make a difference while developing practical skills, perseverance and confidence in their own abilities.
Emotional security and social skills are just as important to us as knowledge and independence. Through their daily interactions, children learn to recognise and express their feelings, show consideration for others, work together and increasingly resolve conflicts independently and respectfully. Trusting relationships, clear rules and familiar routines provide security and guidance.
Our qualified educators closely observe each child’s development and provide purposeful, age-appropriate learning opportunities. We take each child’s individual strengths, interests and developmental progress into account. By combining high educational standards with the joy of learning, we enable every child to fulfil their potential and continue their journey with confidence.
Nutrition
Eating Mindfully. Enjoying Meals Together. Growing in Independence.
A balanced and varied diet is an important part of our educational approach. We provide the children with breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack every day, while taking cultural, religious and health-related needs into account.
Our menu is varied and child-friendly. Meat is served two to three times a week and fish once a week. Vegetarian alternatives are also available.
Shared mealtimes are much more than simply eating together: they strengthen the sense of community, encourage independence and help children develop a mindful relationship with food. At least once a week, the children help prepare a meal. In doing so, they become familiar with different foods, discover new flavours and gain valuable practical experience.
Depending on their age, children are encouraged to serve themselves and decide what and how much they would like to eat. No child is forced to eat or to finish everything on their plate. We support and encourage the children as they explore new foods, while always respecting their individual feelings of hunger and fullness, as well as their personal likes and dislikes.
Familiar rituals and a pleasant atmosphere make mealtimes an enjoyable and reassuring part of everyday life at our daycare.
