Opis
In the Kindergarten/Children and Family centre „Spatzennest“, there is space for a total of 167 children aged 8 weeks up to school entry. The children play, learn and explore in in 9 groups: There are groups for babys and small children (up to 3 years), bigger children (up to 5 years) and groups for Preschool. Families currently come from 26 different nations from all over the world - many with a Muslim background, Asia or Eastern Europe. Our most important focus is, that the children can grow up healthy and self-determined. So they learn how to grow vegetebales in the garden, take care of the plants, water them, harvest them and of course eat them. In our childrens´s conference, they learn democratic processes like voting, discussing and presenting wishes. We are also a „children and family centre“ where different activities in the afternoon take place, like a „family café“, library, exchange children´s clothes or toys etc.
