KiTa X Kindergarten "Am Klinikum"

Educational goals, methods and activities social learning Social learning includes: - the ability to act individually and in groups with children and adults - the ability to empathize with another person and to be able to work with them - the ability to handle conflicts - the ability to understand common rules, rights and obligations and to take responsibility for them Personal skills We as educators see our task in seeing the child as an individual and recognizing his or her personal abilities. For this reason, we work in our facility according to the situation-oriented approach, ie we orient ourselves to the life and experience of the child and pick them up where they are in their development. - Daily life exercises - Self-awareness exercises - role play Social skills An important point in our pedagogical work is to involve the children in “their” day-to-day kindergarten, they should learn to determine their play location, material and partner themselves. The familiar atmosphere that our small facility offers is a good prerequisite for our kigakildren to dare to name and represent their own opinion, their wishes, but also criticism. We encourage the children to communicate with the group, resolve conflicts with words, and respect the wishes of others. - Conversation and group rules - Free play time - projects Everyday skills Another field of learning is everyday action. Everyday kindergarten life gives the children security in its structure and sets tasks. Participation and the successful mastery of these fill the children with joy and pride, they learn to take responsibility and their self-confidence is increased. - Independent table setting - Independent dressing and undressing - To clean up Children of other ages In the Kiga am Klinikum we look after 22 children in the age group of 3-6 years. However, our facility also offers the option of accepting children from 2.5 years of age. In order to achieve a good detachment of the child from the caregiver, the caregiver takes a lot of time for the child as well as for the parents during the acclimatization. After the careful acclimatization, the older children “take” the small children “by the hand” and accompany them through everyday kindergarten life with our support. Due to our personnel key, it is possible for us to divide the large group into small groups (of the same age). Every small group, and therefore every child, has a permanent reference educator who offers age-appropriate activities and activities (e.g. excursions). The reference educator is the first point of contact for the parents. - Child sponsorships ("big" helps "small") - Age-appropriate songs, games and stories - Free play time Girls and boys In our facility, boys and girls are equal and have equal rights. We live our everyday life together, everyone can use any toy or play in any play corner, but we also provide retreats. So we enable z. B. the boys to play football alone (if they want it that way) or the girls to create free space without boys. The skilled workers have a “gender-conscious” pedagogical stance, ie they support the children in finding their roles and gender. - Building corner - playhouse - Fairing corner Intercultural learning A matter of course in our facility is the interaction of children from different nationalities and cultures. We get to know customs, traditions, specialties and words from different languages ​​with the children. - common festivals - intercultural breakfast and lunch - small language studies, children's dictionary Value orientation and religion The basis of our concept is based on the humanistic image of man; in our institution we work based on the Christian image of man. We celebrate Christian festivals with the children, e.g. St. Martin or Christmas, but we also address festivals from other cultures (different cultures of the children). It is important to the team that we get to know different customs and religions in the kindergarten group. In our facility, customs and “laws” are respected, for example no pork or food with pork added. We take children's curiosity seriously and respond to children's questions. - Celebrations in the annual cycle - regular visits to the retirement home language Language is the "key to the world" because only language enables people to fully participate in social and cultural life. That is why language promotion plays a central role in our educational work. Linguistic competence consists of the ability to communicate through communication (interaction, articulation, vocabulary and grammar) and through written language (literacy). We want to encourage German children and children with a migration background to enjoy language through a variety of linguistic suggestions in dialogue and life-oriented relationships. - Free and guided discussions with individuals, small and large groups - joint development of rules of conversation - Reading and telling picture and non-fiction books, stories, fairy tales, poems - Training in phonological awareness (phonetic, language, rhyming and syllable games) - free and guided role play - Circle games, singing games, songs - Children's library (picture and non-fiction books in various languages) - “Children's office” with an electric typewriter - Visit to the library - Creation of everyday situations (e.g. shopping) - Exercises in language-related conflict resolution - Observation of language development through observation sheets (Sismik, Seldak) Information and communication technology, media Many children who visit our facility have already come into contact with the media. We want to impart media competence to the children in kindergarten, ie they should learn to use media (books, magazines, audio equipment, television sets, computers + software) consciously. With the 3-year-olds we use the picture book as the main medium, the 4- and 5-year-olds we show the use of different media (cassette recorder, CD player, slide projector, camera) and talk to them about their experiences, we open up to our preschool children the world of computers. - Book box - Children can bring CDs or tapes from home - Use of the Internet mathematics In day-to-day school life, children learn to organize according to size, weight, volume and length. The educational team opens up the world of mathematics to the children through colors, shapes, numbers, symbols and quantities. - mathematical games (e.g. number domino) - counting rhymes - Placement games - Cook and bake We also work with the funding box: counting quantities, promoting mathematical skills with numbers. In the support box, the children should recognize: - that there are numbers behind numbers (number concept) - that numbers represent increasing numbers (number order) - that from one number to the next one is always added; that (in) numbers can be broken down into smaller (in) numbers (number relations) Science and Technology In our kindergarten, we provide the kindergarten children with technical knowledge about scientific phenomena and provide them with various materials (construction and construction games) so that they can learn to experiment in a playful way. - Weather observation - Plant experiments - warmth - cold - Researcher corner environment Our goal in environmental education is to arouse and promote children's interest in nature and the environment.

Our specialist staff accompanies the children in getting to know democratic forms of participation (corresponding to the children's level of development) so that they learn to represent their wishes and interests and to negotiate in a fair manner. This style of upbringing promotes self-confidence, the ability to deal with conflict, the ability of self-determination and participation and the development of resilience in children. In the project-related participation, a problem that is manageable for the children is worked out with a concrete planning result. - Preparation of an excursion - Children decide on the composition of the Breakfast buffets The open form of participation is characterized by the focus on the children's expression of opinion. - Children's conference - narrative circle - Development of group rules
