70 years of the Windeck children's and family center: a festival of memories!

The Children's and Family Center Haus Windeck in Grohn is celebrating an impressive anniversary this year. The facility has been an important point of contact for families and children in the district for 70 years. The facility manager Susanne Killing and her committed team have decided to celebrate this round birthday anniversary in order to honor the importance of the center in the neighborhood. "We want to highlight the long -term history and the positive development of the daycare center," says Killing.

The celebrations were all about the encounter. Former children of the daycare center, such as Sven Dormann and Jens Florian, were able to see themselves again after many years and, together in memories of their kindergarten, indulge. Stories about the afternoon sleep and playing in the historic daycare building were shared. Eyfer Tunc, a former student, occasionally visits the facility to pick up relatives and vividly remembers her own time in the Windeck.

meaning of equal opportunities

A central concern of the daycare center is the promotion of equal opportunities for all children. The center offers support, especially for children from the Grohner dune, who often grow up in cramped conditions. This is not only based on the needs of the children, but also on family requirements. According to the website of the children's and family center Grohn , the facility offers places for 138 children between the ages of 6 and 12. The childcare times are sufficient from 1pm to 5:18 p.m., with the after -school care center covering 120 places and 18 places in open child labor.

The daycare center is aware that many of its little protégés need special support. Therefore, the personnel key for children with developmental delays or disabilities is particularly favorable: two pedagogical specialists take care of the children per group, supported by a psychologist, to ensure the best possible support.

pedagogical approaches and offers

In the daycare center, linguistic funding is being worked on intensively, and the rights of the children are always the focus. The children's council, which meets every two weeks, serves as a voice of the children to collect and represent wishes and concerns. A particularly popular wish of the children to have a swimming pool was partially fulfilled: a mobile swimming school was booked for September.

The offer of the children's and family center also includes healthy food in a quiet atmosphere and multi-layered educational activities. Cooperation with schools, institutions and associations ensures that the children grow up in a supportive and supportive environment. All of this helps to reduce social inequalities and offer the children a fair educational opportunity. In this context, Margrit Stamm and Martin Viehhauser discuss the effectiveness of early childhood educational offers, which can also be considered a means of overcoming social inequality, as in the Journal of the Education and Socialization is discussed.

Susanne Killing emphasizes: "We have to maintain the high quality of education and secure the daycare center as a fixed educational location." The Haus Windeck children's and family center will remain an important place for children and families in Bremen in the next few years.
