childcare center am Bahnhofshügel
Altenberge

Our work is guided by the pedagogical principles of Emmi Pikler and Elfriede Hengstenberg and the pedagogical concept of learning worlds, which is based on Christel van Dieken's workshop pedagogy concept. Our childcare center is currently located in a comfortable temporary solution on the sports field. From summer 2026, we will be moving with our dog Prya to our new, modern five-group facility in Bahnhofstrasse. As a future certified family center, we look forward to providing a wide range of services for the whole family!

This is close to our hearts

I see my role as a childcare center as creating an environment in which children can experiment freely, develop their creativity and develop their independence. At eye level, with respect and attentiveness, I promote a needs-oriented pedagogy that supports each child in their uniqueness.
I look forward to hearing from you!
