every child is born a genius. albert einstein

children can only then give their best and unfold their whole potential in nursery and kindergarten when they receive individual encouragement. each child has its own individual development pace, its own interests and above all its own needs. we establish a secure and familiar atmosphere in our nurseries where we attach great importance to individual encouragement to each child. with our age specific learning program in early childhood education, discovering the world step by step©; we help each child to take its own personal development path. we take your child by the hand and lead it gently through the many wonders of its tiny world and support it in managing all the daily challenges.we celebrate every occasion uniquely and unforgettable, be it the first day in our globegarden childcare center, a birthday, name day or the first day at preschool or kindergarten. your child receives special attention from the teacher and the whole group on this day.

we also make sure that right from the beginning in our daycare an elder child in the group becomes the tutor for your child. being there for each other helps your child to familiarize easier with the new surroundings in the nursery and in the initial stage your child feels protected and supported. through a child's eye the situation often looks different from that of an adult's and so the older 'tutor' child in the group supports your child in addition to the teacher.
the tutor children are our eldest children from our pre-kindergarten or kindergarten group and they learn to take over a responsibility by looking after a younger child. they pass on their knowledge and experiences and watch the success of the younger ones with pride.

the function of education is to help you from childhood not to imitate anybody, but be yourself all the time. jiddu krishnamurti

we offer your child a stable and familiar surroundings in our nursery in which to grow as a part of our globegarden family. we accompany your child in every-day life so that it comes to know its position and value in the community and grows up to be a responsible and self-confident person and little learner.
we would like to give your child strength and stability by teaching it to having trust in him- or herself. being self-confident means going through life in a secure way and with a positive attitude towards challenges. consequently we boost your child's independence by encouraging it to have trust in itself.
furthermore our children learn the importance of clear rules in the group. your child learns to judge and handle limitations and gets to know its duties and abide by them. this ensures harmony in the group and each child receives the appropriate attention. children then, in time, learn to solve conflict situations among themselves without the help from an adult. we also keep an eye on polite manners and social behavior towards each other in our kindergarten.

think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap. barbara jordan

we care about the health, nutrition and physical welfare of your child in our kindergarten. we therefore create a tidy, pleasant and clean environment in our daycare where your child feels comfortable.
we manage our own in-house kitchen in most of our childcare centers. during vacation times or in some centers we get delivered food menus. all meals are prepared according to a balanced nutrition concept. we prepare seasonal crops and fruits and also shop for budget products. we do not use any hard candy, but we do prepare and serve a self-baked chocolate cake or chocolate pudding from time to time. a typical day begins with a healthy breakfast (bread, cereal, fruit). we may then continue with an energizing stroll outside, which provides a perfect opportunity to learn about our natural world in a nearby park or playground.  lunchtime (noodles, rice, fish, meat, salad, vegetables sometimes also pizza or fish-sticks) is followed by a nap or quiet time to come to strength for a fun afternoon. a healthy afternoon snack (crackers, fruit, vegetables) gives everyone new power! for the really hungry, we provide a small and light dinner snack in the evening (no replacement for a full dinner). during the day water or not sweetened tea is always available for children and we make sure they drink enough, as children often forget this as to all exciting things happening over the day. we are aware that nutrition is an important part of a healthy way of living and is learned in early years at home or in kindergarten. we make sure that your child learns to enjoy healthy and natural eating habits right from the beginning.
we additionally discuss with you any possible individual needs your child may have. we naturally also take in to consideration any allergies or illnesses. in our infant & toddler groups our teachers take over the same rhythm that they have at home. furthermore we respect various religions and their principles.

music is the literature of the heart, it commences where speech ends. alphonse de lamarti

we set great value on early musical education and we open the ears and above all the hearts of the children to the world music. we already start with first tone experiences and first rhythmic exercises and bells with our very small children. we sing together, we listen together and we love it when the radio or great children’s cd and also classical music play along during the day.  alongside singing, the children are also encouraged to listen and watch. every once in a while we have a dance spectacle for example during our summer parties. the special and expectant atmosphere of such a day is never forgotten and lays the foundation for a life long love of music and movement to music.

every child is an artist. the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. pablo picasso

we encourage children to discover their individual talents and also express themselves artistically. we believe that art is all around. our program in the area of aesthetics and art education enables your child to dip into the world of art with all its diversity of shape, color, style and method. your child makes first experiences in different projects, when working with water colors and finger paint. we try out glittery colors and thicker and less thick colorings and we might try to copy some famous artist, just to discover our own little picassos. this is fun for everyone.

the habits we form from childhood make no small difference, but rather they make all the difference. aristotle

children are very different and they do not all have the same powers of self-assertion. we communicate to your child the importance of supporting each other in kindergarten and integrating the weaker ones into the group. at a young age our children learn to stand up for each other and to develop moral courage.
we regularly work on social projects in the local community of our childcare center as we want to leave a local footprint here and there. we set great value on the children learning helpfulness, responsibility and compassion and opening their hearts to the requirements of the weaker and to those in need. projects in solidarity like singing in old people’s homes, visits to children's hospital wards and animal homes are valued very much.
