Childcare provision

Our facility consists of two partially open elementary groups, in which children aged 3 to 6 years are cared for. All new children who come to the daycare center are acclimated according to evaluated acclimation models for daycare centers.

Children’s zest for life is expressed through movement. By being physically active, a child learns about and understands causes and effects. We offer:

  • weekly bridge year activities
  • a 3-day children’s trip once a year
  • monthly forest days
  • regular excursions to nearby playgrounds, as well as visits to museums and theaters, also by public transport
  • we celebrate festivals together several times a year

It is important to us that the children engage with written culture, language, natural history, mathematics, social skills, music, visual design and their environment – with all their senses. The children’s development is documented in written and pictorial form. These educational and learning stories are included in the children’s own individual portfolio folders. A healthy diet is important for mind and body. The day begins with a balanced breakfast, which is prepared in the kindergarten. We receive lunch from a whole-food caterer. Fruit, raw vegetables and drinks are offered to the children throughout the day.

History

The Abraxas kindergarten was opened in 1993 as the sixth of Stiftung Kindergärten Finkenau’s facilities. It is located in the Winterhude district of Jarrestadt, which was built in the mid-1920s under the supervision of Fritz Schumacher and which is characterised by its red brick buildings with many green interior courtyards where neighbours can convene. Despite its central location close to the city, this district offers children plenty of green spaces, playgrounds and the nearby Stadtpark (“city park”).

Day-care team

Qualified educators from a range of professions work at Finkenau’s facilities. Housekeeping and cleaning staff are also an integral part of the team. We are particularly committed to providing interns with qualified training.

Some teams receive additional support from volunteers or federal volunteers (“Bundesfreiwillige”).

Case discussions are held and pedagogical topics as well as conceptual and organisational matters discussed at the staff meetings that take place regularly. Our employees’ documentation and observation of the children’s development is an essential part of the work. All employees attend training courses on a regular basis.
