“Children should play more than many children do today.
Because if you play enough when you are young, you will have treasures within you that you can draw on for the rest of your life.” Astrid Lindgren

Playful Learning

Playing is not "just for fun", it is the (hard) work of children. Through free play, young children learn everything they need for a healthy development. Step by step and appropriate to their respective age.
Purely cognitive learning is not effective at a young age. Children must "understand" their world in the truest sense of the word, with all their senses and holistic learning. In order to then be ready for the next stage of increased cognitive learning.

It is important to us to educate them to be independent and think for themselves. The children should experience their self-efficacy, which strengthens their personality and enables them to be more resilient in life.

Our professional team guides your child through this learning process and offers individual, age-appropriate offers in a harmonious and pressure-free environment.
The basis for this is the proven German education plan. In our kindergarten we focus on 7 educational areas of this plan.
