Our Day in the Daycare Centre
Bilingual and diverse

Our goal is for children to develop confidence and motivation for their future education. With a varied programme in both German and English, as well as individual support, each day becomes a valuable learning and play experience.

Crèche

Ages 1 – 3

In a caring and friendly environment, we support the development of our youngest children and introduce them to bilingualism in age-homogeneous groups through play and fun activities. Our educators ensure that each child feels safe and makes new discoveries every day. From the settling-in period, and right throughout their early education, we tailor our approach to your child’s individual needs and guide them with care through the day. Open communication and close collaboration with parents are a given for us.

Elementary Group

Ages 3 – 5

From the age of three, we lay another important foundation for your child’s development. Through a harmonious combination of playful learning and structured activities, we promote your child’s cognitive, social, and motor skills. Our experienced educators support the children with care and expertise in our bilingual environment, with age-homogeneous groups in both German and English.

Bio für Kids

Healthy eating is important to us.

Our certified organic, regionally sourced meals are freshly prepared every day by our caterer, “Bio für Kids”, and follow the standards of the German Nutrition Society. 

 

Every day, fresh raw vegetables are offered, and in the afternoon, a healthy snack is provided. The meal plan includes fish once a week and poultry or beef from organic sources twice a week. We do not serve any pork. Sharing meals with the educators promote a sense of community and creates a cheerful dining atmosphere.

Preschool

Ages 5 – 6

When children reach the age of five, we begin to prepare them for the transition to primary school. In a caring and supportive environment, we enrich the day with diverse learning activities in both German and English. Regular sports activities and working on the Smart Board accompany this process. In the afternoon, children can take part in various clubs, such as yoga, art, ball game school and dance.

Key Focuses of Our Preschool Care

Easier transition to our primary school

Routines and structures already established in preschool, along with the familiar faces of our educators, create a sense of familiarity with the school environment. Basic skills and learning techniques, as well as social skills gained through group work, make the transition to primary school smoother.

Early language skills and support

At a young age, children learn especially quickly and can easily master both German and English. The children are already accustomed to bilingual lessons and benefit from this continuity.

Social and emotional development

In our preschool, children often develop better communication skills and strengthen their social competencies. At the same time, cultural sensitivity and openness are fostered by our international diversity.
