Kindergarten

The newly designed kindergarten is available for children aged 1.5 years to 6 years. For the first time, the attendance of children under the age of three is also possible.

The legal regulation provides for a regular group of 23 children, an integration group of 15 children, an age-extended group of 18 children (ratio: 13 three to six-year-olds and 5 two to three-year-olds), and in a crèche at least 6 to a maximum of 10 children aged one and a half to three years. Depending on needs and registrations, the groups are assigned, and the children are cared for by the responsible educators and assistants. REGISTRATION KINDERGARTEN: At the beginning of a calendar year, parents are invited to an information evening with the mayor and kindergarten management via a personally addressed letter. Subsequently, on a set date, the admission modalities (data, wishes, ……) are recorded. By no later than the end of May of the calendar year, parents receive a confirmation or rejection regarding the child's admission. Additionally, the child is invited for a trial day at the kindergarten. The child will be accompanied by the parents on this "first day at kindergarten." The first parent evening for the kindergarten children takes place in September with the mayor, kindergarten management, and all staff. Furthermore, parents will learn details about the pedagogical work in the respective group of their child following the general part. Admission criteria: Should the registrations exceed the legally required number of children, and subsequent rejections are necessary, the children will be admitted based on the following criteria: * Kindergarten obligation, i.e. children who are in the last year before school entry * Employment status of the parents * Parents in training * Job-seeking parents REGISTRATION CRÈCHE: The formalities are the same as in kindergarten. The parent evening or parent discussions will take place, if possible, already in July before kindergarten entry, to get to know the individual needs of each child and to take them into account in the child's support to the extent possible. The visit to the crèche in the first days occurs gradually to allow the child a slow transition from the familiar home to a new living space. Admission criteria: Should the registrations exceed the legally required number of children, and subsequent rejections are necessary, the children will be admitted based on the following criteria: * Employment status of the parents * Parents in training * Job-seeking parents PEDAGOGICAL WORK IN KINDERGARTEN The pedagogical concept is applied in the kindergarten.
