About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Kindergruppe Amerlinghaus is a parental run, private Kindergarden in the centre of Vienna. Our kindergarten consists of 12 children and 3 kindergarten teachers. The Kindergarten was founded in 1980 and is one of the oldest private institutions of that kind in Vienna, run by the parents of the children for about 30 years by now. The educational concepts of Maria Montessori are important to us as well as those of others, like Wild, Hengstenberg and so on. Our kindergarten teachers combine them with their own experiences, they achieved in several years of practice. The children of the Kindergruppe Amerlinghaus are between 3-6 years old. During the day we play with the kids and offer different activities and excursions and also food for the kids is prepared. We offer biological and vegetarian food. The general opening times are Monday-Friday 8.30-17.00. The cheerful and respectful interaction between children and kindergarten teachers is essential to our concept.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
