Description

The concept of the "Regenbogenhaus" kindergarten is based on the Christian belief. The volunteer does not have to be Christian. He/she should be open- minded towards Christian values. "Regenbogenhaus" has the following conceptual focal points: English as the language of encounter, musical education, encountering the Christian faith and healthy nutrition, . In the work with the children, great emphasis is placed on creativity, play, projects and outdoor activities. The playground and the "green play areas" outside offer good opportunities for these activities. Regular excursions to the forest are also on the programme. The kindergarten is attended by about 60 children aged 1-6 years. 10 educators work with the children. During their voluntary service, the volunteers are integrated into the care tasks of the day care centre. At the beginning, they also have the opportunity to get to know the individual areas with the staff of the facility and work in all age groups.
