Concept
Our goal is to offer integrated support to the development of every child. To reach this goal, we follow the Teaching Plan 21, a newly developed education curriculum. This teaching plan demonstrates education and didactic teaching possibilities for working with Kindergarten children and defines their fundamental curriculum.
In addition to the fundamental curriculum, we work out individual goals for each pre-kindergarten child, personalising the curriculum to best suit their needs, abilities and talents for an optimised school readiness.
On the basis of the following three competencies, we plan the different subjects/topics in the kindergarten:
