Our daily routine

We structure the day with recurring sequences and rituals in our day-care facilities.

A clearly coordinated daily structure between the nursery and the preschool provides all children with a secure framework for the day.

Nevertheless, this framework is always subject to change, depending on the needs of the children.

When organizing the day, we pay attention to a balance between activities, rest phases, free play and prepared pedagogical activities.

The children determine how monthly themes and projects develop, what is cooked or baked, where the excursions go and which play materials are on offer.

It is also important for us to be out in the fresh air with the children at least once a day. To do this, we use the garden, playgrounds in the surrounding area, or go on trips to the forest.

Project work plays an important role for us as it promotes holistic learning.

In this sense, we connect all six educational areas of the Berlin early years curriculum in order to attain and apply knowledge in a way that is relevant to real life.

Projects are developed together with the children from their imagination, conversations, discoveries and observations.

We also address special topics in an age-appropriate manner in the form of “monthly themes”.

Our holistic concept is rounded off by individual additional activities, such as ballet and creative dance, swimming or music, which we can offer in cooperation with our partners.
