INF 685 and Humboldtstraße 17 nurseries
Nursery concept: The children are looked after by experienced staff. Each child has their own key worker and ‘their’ group, with whom they spend the day, providing them with a sense of security and safety. The daily routine has a fixed rhythm and the children are given a wide variety of stimuli that contribute to the harmonious development of their motor skills, language acquisition, cognitive and social abilities. Individual parent-teacher meetings are held.
