Day care centre

Educational profile

Our legal task is to provide holistic, family-supporting care for children.

The day-care centre has fixed core groups in which the children experience and organise their everyday group activities together with their teachers.

The after-hours service, as well as special occasions or services, operates collectively across all groups.

The children thus have a wide range of options for playing, discovering and learning together. Our focus on health and exercise is reflected in all areas of education, and our educational work is also apparent at the pleasant, child-friendly premises.

In order to properly perform our teaching tasks, our specialists have each concentrated intensively on separate aspects of education, and are able to assist the children through age-based playing and learning stimuli.

We assimilate children with additional needs (integration voucher) into everyday care activities. A specialised therapist is available to assist here.
