Finding Your Place
Building confidence, making friends, taking your first steps into a community and finding your place in it: "It's like an awakening when the children we are lucky enough to care for begin to discover themselves and the world around them in their own way."
Resonating
Our sincere interest in the children shows us the path to take with them. Without pressure, resonating in a relaxed, loving atmosphere—this is precisely what lets us reach them. It is also what makes our work special: we take the time we need to engage with each child individually. In this way, we discover and encourage the children’s’ potential to express as well as to understand themselves.
Perceiving
Children learn most intensively in the first years of life. Every perception stimulates them to imitate. The kindergarten is designed in such a way as to provide meaningful stimulation for children in need of soul care. The children practice observing and exploring. They imitate what the educators do. By playing and working with natural materials, they learn to feel at home in the world. Repetitive activities and experiences in the course of the day, week, and year give the children security and orientation.
Therapies support the special education efforts. An individual therapy plan is created for each child in cooperation with the Karl Schubert School’s therapists and school doctor.
