kids & co Hardau

Our carefully designed facilities create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, can move freely, and enjoy discovering the world. Our garden, with its wide variety of play and activity options, invites children to play, marvel, and explore. Children are welcome to join us starting at 3 months of age. Until they transition to kindergarten, we guide and support each child’s development in an age-appropriate and individualized manner. In doing so, we always focus on the children's needs, interests, and well-being.

Children need physical activity—every day and in a wide variety of ways. At Purzelbaum Daycare, we provide a wide range of opportunities for climbing, balancing, jumping, running, and trying new things. Once a week, we also spend time in the woods or out in nature. The children experience different materials, sounds, smells, and seasons with all their senses; they observe, collect, build, and discover. In this way, we naturally combine physical activity, experiences in nature, and children’s joy of discovery.

Every day, for a few minutes, the children can explore our diverse learning spaces and decide for themselves what interests them. Whether it’s exploration, creativity, role-playing, building, music, movement, or language—the age-appropriate activities invite them to discover, experiment, and learn. In the process, the children play and learn together across groups. Our educational professionals provide attentive guidance, offer inspiration, and support them in their individual development.

We observe, support, and guide the children as they develop. We document important developmental milestones and your child’s current needs, and use this information to plan future play activities. In their portfolios, we collect experiences and observations that the children can proudly take home with them when they leave the daycare center.

The children choose and prepare their own meals from a wide, healthy, and varied selection of options. The staff supports and guides them in a way appropriate for their age, helping them develop independence and a sense of autonomy. Of course, we take both cultural and medical dietary habits into account.

A variety of themed projects—tailored to the children’s ages, needs, and interests—stimulate their development and provide a varied and exciting daily routine. Whether it’s the seasons, light effects, forest animals, vehicles, colors, or even the kindergarten project—our dedicated team is always finding new ways to create interesting projects for the children. In the spring, our oldest children proudly take part in the kindergarten project; they are carefully prepared for their next transition so that they can get off to a good start!

Children bring with them different languages, experiences, strengths, and needs. For us, this diversity is a natural part of everyday life at the daycare center.
Children whose first language is not German can receive targeted support for their language development through the KiD program. 
Children with special needs are also welcome here. Together with their parents, we carefully assess what each child needs for their well-being and development, and how we can provide appropriate support in the daycare setting.
