True to the maxim “Little ones make big things happen”, the charitable foundation Kindergärten Finkenau takes care of children from nursery age (from 8 – 12 months) to when they leave elementary school. We work according to a partially open concept and we are guided by the Hamburg educational guidelines for pedagogical work in daycare centers. We believe that exercise is essential for children to stay physically and mentally healthy. Exercise fosters development, provides flexibility and stimulates thinking. And it’s not just physically that our little ones make big things happen, but also with their creative ideas, their thirst for knowledge and urge for exploring. With their very own unique desires and aptitudes, they are their own person right from the start, and we want to accompany them in the process of growing and becoming independent. We attach great importance to language support and the inclusion of children with special needs in the process.

In our 30 facilities, approximately 570 employees take care of over 2,500 children.

In our diverse society, we stand up for democratic values and freedom of the individual inasmuch as the needs of the community are respected. We are politically unaffiliated and welcome all nationalities and people from different regions. Read more in this press release.

We are delighted that our new movement daycare centre with swimming offer will be moving into the new building in the Max-Brauer-Quartier!

This means that there will probably be nursery, elementary and bridge year places available from summer 2025. What we offer: spacious new rooms with an innovative room concept, needs-oriented pedagogy based on 50 years of experience in the daycare centre sector and a spacious outdoor area with room for lots of movement and the children’s ideas.
