childcare center And the Kinderblick Family Center is moving: The new building in Altenberge will accommodate 85 children

(Altenberge, October 1, 2026) The “ childcare center ” and the “Kinderblick” Family Center—formerly “ childcare center ” on Bahnhofshügel—will move to their new location at Bahnhofstraße 24 in Altenberge on October 5, 2026. The facility has space for 85 children and will be operated by Global Education gGmbH as part of the pme Familienservice Group. 

The construction project is being carried out by Heinrich Temmink GmbH of Vreden (investor) and the architectural firm Henke Siassi Evers of Essen as part of an investor solicitation by the municipality of Altenberge.  

 Facilities and Educational Approach 

  • In the protected U3 area on the ground floor, children under 3 years of age are cared for using the Emmi Pikler approach—which emphasizes respectful guidance and fostering the children’s independence.
  • Children over the age of 3 are cared for on the upper floor as part of an open-concept program—with clearly structured activity areas, including a play and workshop area where initiative, creativity, and self-directed learning are encouraged.
  • In the fresh food kitchen , a trained chef prepares all meals daily. 
  • Through animal-assisted education with Prya the dog, the children learn to treat others with consideration and are supported in their emotional and social development. 

Andreas Jesewski, Center Director: “I see my role as Head of the ‘ childcare center ’ as creating an environment where children can experiment, unleash their creativity, and develop their independence. On an equal footing, with respect and mindfulness, I promote a needs-based educational approach that supports each child in their uniqueness.”

pme and Generation Ü: From retirement to working life

By 2030, over eight million people will be of working age. Only around 5.5 million workers will join the labor market. Many companies are already feeling the effects of this huge skills gap. In order to anticipate this development at an early stage, the pme Familienservice Group is deliberately focusing on new ways of recruiting through a partnership with the "Generation Ü" job agency.

For some time now, pme Familienservice has been committed to keeping team members in employment - at their own request - after they retire. At the beginning of March, pme Familienservice launched a partnership with the job placement agency "Generation Ü", which helps to recruit people with extensive work experience. In future, the focus will be on more than 90 childcare and educational institutions across Germany.

Silver worker: From retirement to working life

At the 30 pme locations throughout Germany, Generation Ü will search for and place suitable "Üs" as a job placement service for retirement. Üs are women and men, generally between their late 50s and early 70s, who want to remain active towards the end of their working life or in retirement.

"Through the partnership with Generation Ü, pme Familienservice wants to focus even more strongly than before on the experience and motivation of older generations. This is an important component of our diversity strategy and should also help to counter the increasing shortage of skilled workers," says Alexa Ahmad, CEO of the pme Familienservice Group.

Who is Generation Ü?

Ü founder and former State Secretary Christian Ege says: "Generation Ü brings companies and Üs into contact and organizes the cooperation, hand-mediated and with an internal IT platform in which over 1200 Üs are currently registered".

Generation Ü offers SMEs and public employers in particular many advantages and credibility in the search, placement and recruitment of skilled workers over 55. Whether in the office, childcare, classroom, accounting, as a driver, in sales, production, technology or a doctor's surgery: the Üs fulfill many tasks and important projects reliably, with knowledge, drive and many years of experience in a wide variety of professions and areas. Just in a slightly different way than in conventional working life.
