A home group with opportunities to explore

At Kindergarten Sandweg, we combine the security of a regular home group with opportunities to meet other children and discover other rooms. At certain times, the kindergarten groups open their rooms, run joint projects or use the gym together.

Children experience different playmates, learning activities and spaces. We take their needs, interests and stages of development as our guide.

Everyone belongs

We meet children with warmth and trust. We notice their needs, encourage their strengths and accept their individual personalities. Consistent boundaries and respectful relationships provide guidance.

Children of different ages and backgrounds learn together and from one another. Every child enriches the community and should feel needed and taken seriously.

Christian values in everyday life

As part of the Protestant parish of Feuchtwangen, we include faith in everyday life through prayers, songs and shared church services for important celebrations in the church year.

Taking part and making decisions

Participation means involving children in decisions that affect their own lives and the community. We encourage them to contribute, help shape activities, make decisions and take responsibility. Children experience making their own choices, share their views and look for solutions together.

Our educational priorities
  • Participation and inclusion
  • Language and communication
  • Movement and health
  • Music and creativity
  • Nature, the environment and technology
  • Mathematical experiences
A dependable daily routine

Familiar routines and a morning circle are part of each group's day. Free play, planned activities and as much time in the garden as possible alternate throughout the day. Kindergarten children can choose when to have breakfast, while nursery groups eat together.

After lunch, kindergarten children have a relaxation period. Nursery children can sleep according to their needs. The kindergarten groups join together in the afternoon, with a shared snack at around 15:00.

Projects and special experiences

Through Vorkurs Deutsch 240, we strengthen language skills and support children who need targeted help as they move towards school.

Music and dance, a healthy breakfast, fruit and vegetables, and planting and tending a garden bed offer further experiences. The “Trau Dich!” project introduces preschool children to basic first aid through play.

Support from our specialist service

Binia Stimpfle and Eva Zein support children, families and the team with inclusion and additional support needs. Their work includes individual and small-group activities, conversations with parents, advice for colleagues and coordination with early intervention services, pre-school support settings, doctors and therapists.

Talking with parents

Trusting relationships with families matter to us. Brief conversations at drop-off and collection, arranged meetings, parents’ evenings and shared celebrations create opportunities to talk. We share information through the Stay-Informed app and notices in the setting.

The parents’ council is elected each year and is informed and consulted at regular meetings. It raises parents’ concerns and supports life in our kindergarten community.
