Kita at the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin

Our educational activities are based on the Berlin Education Program ("Berliner Bildungsprogramm"). This enables us to offer a holistic education and to accompany and support the children in their development based on their strengths and abilities. We pay particular attention to the educational areas “Education for Sustainable Development” and “Basic Scientific Experiences”.

Experiences in early childhood lay the foundation for skills and values that determine how we handle ourselves, other people and the environment. Education for sustainable development supports the children’s self-efficacy and also respectful interactions with others. Its aim is to encourage children to think and act responsibly.

In our day care center, we offer the children the opportunity to deal with future related themes while playing, researching, and experimenting. The emphasis lies on the children’s spirit of discovery and playful exploration.

Time for experiments and our garden offer various possibilities to realize this. Our house is open for ideas, creativity and the children’s imagination. We take up these ideas and support the children with design spaces to explore and further shape their living environment in our community. Particular experiences in nature and their surroundings create special thrills. In our raised garden beds the children can sow and care for their own vegetables or flowers.

Trips

The institution is attended by children who mostly live in different areas. It is therefore important for us to make them familiar with the surrounding area through little excursions. The children experience nature through the changing seasons and in different weather conditions. They learn to move with and in a group, to follow rules and thereby obtain social skills. Depending on what the current offers, we also go to theatres, the cinema and museums, to the nearby Tierpark, to the Wuhlheide park etc.

Participation and Contribution

Our team has taken the rights of the children into consideration and is currently developing a pedagogical guideline in which they will further define and describe the  concrete (co)decision rights of the children.

Alle unter einem Dach ("All Under One Roof")

Children from different cultures are coming and playing together in our day care center. The current project of the mixed-age area Alle unter einem Dach ("All Under One Roof") offers the opportunity to get to know the diversity of the children, their mother tongues, backgrounds, and lifestyles. The project begins with a common afternoon in which children, parents, and teachers present things such as games, photos, songs, and typical local dishes to each other. In addition to other activities, this also includes greeting each other in the morning circle in the various languages of the children, which brings intercultural learning into the everyday life of the day care center.
