Back-up 3 K - Children, Art, Culture
Mainz

3K - Kinder, Kunst, Kultur is a business-related back-up center that guarantees childcare in exceptional cases and acute crises, for example when parents/grandparents/daycare mothers fall ill, the childcare center is closed or during the vacations. In a mixed-age group, we generally look after up to ten children from 6 weeks to around 12 years of age.

Most of our back-up support is available to employees of our contractual partners free of charge. The conditions of use and the number of days provided depend on the contract that your employer has concluded with pme Familienservice . If you have any questions, please contact us or your HR department.

The 3K - Kinder, Kunst, Kultur works according to the nationwide quality concept of the pme Familienservice and is audited and certified annually.

Focus on art and culture

We introduce the children to art and culture in a playful and child-friendly way. For example, we recreate works by great artists such as Monet or Klee so that the children can experience them and work with different materials in order to grasp different structures and levels.

Music and literature

(Classical) music prepared in an age-appropriate way for dancing or simply listening to is also great fun for many children. Our caregivers also take a lot of time to read aloud. In this way, new knowledge is imparted and vocabulary is expanded.

Reliable relationships

Children need reliable caregivers and other children in order to develop and gain social experience. This includes building mutual respect and understanding, patience and consideration as well as learning non-violent conflict resolution strategies.

Loving care, safe atmosphere

We create an environment for the children in which they feel comfortable and which gives them security and orientation. Back-up care is often a difficult situation for children. That's why we offer taster days in advance to get to know the facility and the childcare staff. Our caregivers look after each child in a loving and nurturing way.
