Introduction/specifics

A WARM WELCOME to our Kath. Kita St. Josef page,

here you will find some information about our day care centre.
We would be delighted if you would arrange an appointment with us to have a look at the daycare centre and get to know the staff.

Our daycare centre works with mixed-age groups. In the crèche: 0-3 years and in the two kindergarten groups 2-6 years.

We work according to a situation- and development-orientated approach.

The focus of our educational work is to recognise the needs and abilities of each individual child through observation and to support them accordingly. We also encourage consideration for others, tolerance towards everyone, mutual respect and especially the elimination of prejudices.

Every child is an independent personality.
In our daily work, we support the children according to their level of development and accompany them in their learning successes.
We do this with regard to the Christian co-operation between family, daycare centre and Catholic community.

Every child is unique.
We respect and value the child as an independent personality
We pick up the child where it stands.
Every child has their own individual pace of development
Our daycare centre sees itself as an institution that complements and supports the family.

Once a month, our sponsoring organisation finances a healthy breakfast for the children. The children prepare this together with the staff and create a colourful and fresh breakfast buffet.

Lunch

Lunch is delivered fresh by Season Family and is varied, tasty, healthy and balanced.
This must be paid for separately and is charged per day.

It is also possible to bring a snack from home for lunch.

Drinks

In our groups, water (still, medium), various teas (unsweetened), juice spritzers and milk once a week are available to the children at the drinks station at all times.
