"With heart and mind": Child day care congress 2023
Child day care is an important pillar of childcare. We have been promoting the quality of this form of childcare for many years, including with the annual childcare congress "With heart and mind".
In 2023, we celebrated the 15th anniversary of our daycare congress "With heart and mind" at Münster. With this excellent educational format for childminders, pme is committed to providing training in the field of childcare, which is an important pillar in the childcare landscape across Germany and a permanent fixture in our placement business. Thanks to well-qualified caregivers, we offer our customers childcare at a high level.
We recognized early on how important it is to invest in the (further) training of our caregivers. That's why we offer caregivers who are registered with pme the following every year free further training formats free of charge. Daycare parents who are not registered with us can also take part in the daycare congress "With heart and mind". In this way, we have been making an important contribution to quality assurance in childcare for 15 years.
Business development in Münster - networking and new work
The 15th Child Day Care Congress "With Heart and Mind" was dedicated to the topic "Business Model Child Day Care". Introductory words of welcome from Alexa Ahmad, CEO of pme, and Bettina Konrath, Chairwoman of the Landesverband NRW e.V., made it clear how important networking and exchange are for child day care and how New Work also plays an important role here. With an inspiring keynote on the topic of business development, Annette Lang, Managing Director of "Vernetzt geht's weiter", gave the childminders ideas on how to further develop and strengthen their childcare business.
Nicola Schmidt, science journalist and bestselling author as well as founder and managing director of Artgerecht GmbH, provided impetus for species-appropriate pedagogy with her presentation and said about the Child Daycare Congress 2023: "It was a very nice congress. Although I was 'only' there online, I felt like I was 'in the thick of it'! Thank you for the great organization and the wonderful feedback!"
Inge Losch-Engler, pedagogue and Federal Chairwoman of the Bundesverband für Kindertagespflege e.V., expressed her sincere thanks for the invitation to the congress:
"I am always happy to talk to the childminders from the different federal states. The childminders do a wonderful job, and I thank them for that."
We say THANK YOU and look to the future
After 15 successful years of congresses, we would also like to thank our pme congress team and look forward to seeing how the format will adapt over time . What is certain is that we will continue to focus on training and promoting exchange among caregivers.
And we also want to develop further. That is why we have decided not to hold a live congress at a national level in 2024, but to strengthen cooperation in the regions. That's why we will be offering networking events in the regions, for exchange, further training and networking.
However, there will continue to be an online offering at federal level in the form of our online training courses (formerly teleacademies). You will soon receive specific information on how the qualification of caregivers at pme will continue.
