ESC: Volunteering in the Kindergarten Biedermann

Our partially open FRÖBEL preschool Biedermann cares for eight heterogeneous reference groups for a total of 120 children aged 12 months to school entry. We can provide 36 crèche places, 78 kindergarten places and up to 12 integration places. The pedagogy in our house is characterised by openness, participation and individualisation. Our educational staff respond to the needs and interests of the children by including them in their daily educational routine. A stimulating environment with a variety of materials promotes the children's educational and developmental processes. Located in the colourful neighborhood of Connewitz, we consider ourselves as a "kindergarten of the neighborhood". The steamboat is the leitmotif of our partially open house. The little sailors have access to various functional rooms on three decks: - Children's studio with mud corner - Movement room - Natural garden - children's kitchen Children have a natural need for education and development and a right to be competently accompanied and supported on their way. This basic idea was formulated already at the beginning of the 19th century by Friedrich Fröbel (1782-1852), to whom the kindergarten owes its name, and is taken up by our educators in their daily work. Guided by the three principles of relationship, individualisation and participation, we create a stimulating environment in which the self-education potential of children is embraced and supported. The design of the daily educational routine is based on the needs and interests of the children. It is characterised by openness, which allows the children to develop their personality and gives them time for individual educational and developmental processes. Contact with other children and adults is also encouraged.
