Description of organisation

Kindergruppe Giraffenland is a non-profit, parent-run children’s group for children aged between 2.5 and 6 years. The main aim of the children’s group is to guide the children in their social and personal development until they begin school. Teachers are trained to apply the pedagogical concepts of nonviolent communication, M. Montessori and E. Pikler. These pedagogical approaches ensure that the children are able to independently develop their own innate curiosity using the many tools and resources available in the children’s group, as well as in nature via regular trips to parks and the woods surrounding Vienna.
