The daycare centre is located on the north campus of TU Berlin, just a few minutes' walk from Ernst-Reuter-Platz and the U2 underground line.
We offer space for up to 112 children aged eight weeks to school age.
The centre is located in a traffic-calmed area and has its own playground, which offers the children a wide range of opportunities for play and exercise.
Our spacious 1,200 m² playground is located directly in front of the daycare centre. There is a variety of play equipment, large sand play areas, a water pump system, a roadway and numerous shady trees and bushes. Raised flower beds invite children to plant and tend them together with parents and educational staff.
In our separate toddler area, we look after up to 48 children aged 0 to 3 years. This area comprises four group rooms, a bedroom, two washrooms, a play corridor, a large balcony and two cloakrooms. The group rooms are designed to encourage the children to explore, climb and play. The children have access to a variety of materials and toys such as building blocks, soft toys, picture books, pegging and grasping toys, sorting boxes and rhythm instruments. Differently designed play corners stimulate the children's senses. There are also play plateaus in each room, which provide even more fun for discovery.
We look after up to 64 children aged 3 to school age in the elementary area. Here we have created various functional areas that cater to the children's different interests and needs: An atrium serves as a construction and building area, two studios invite the children to be creative, and there is a music and movement room that is also used for resting. We also offer two learning workshops for experimentation and research as well as a role-play room with dressing-up facilities, a kitchen and a shop. Most of the materials are visible and easily accessible to the children, so that their natural curiosity is constantly awakened.
Outdoor Activities
Our day care center is attended by children who come from all over Berlin. Therefore, it is important for us to make trips to the surrounding area. We like to take the children to the Einsteinufer (river bank) and the Spree river, to the Tiergarten park, to the Tiergarten sluice and to the zoo. Other favorite places of the children are the Pippi Longstocking playground, the nearby Ziegenhof communal center and the charming Hexenhaus at the Spree canal. We buy ingredients for cooking and baking. Visiting the parents' workplaces and the children's homes give them the opportunity to experience the diversity of international work and cultures.
Sports and Exercise
It is important to us that the children move a lot. We often visit our playground where the children can romp, climb, swing, slide, dig and explore nature in almost every weather condition. We regularly go to the gym at the Technical University and cooperate with a swimming club for children’s swimming classes. Once a year our older children can join the Bambini Run in the Tiergarten park. It is a great communal experience for them to run about 800 meters through the park together.
Gardening
As part of its focus profile ‘Nature, Environment, Technology’, the daycare centre has created raised plant beds together with Ackerdemia e.V..
The children have here the opportunity to gain their first experience of gardening and observe the growth of various plants, which they can taste or process after harvesting. They are supported by dedicated parents and educational staff.
Festivals and Celebrations
In the course of a day care year, we have many opportunities to celebrate. Feasts are important to us because they offer us a break in our everyday routines, are fun and leave us with beautiful memories. For our preschool children there is an annual children's festival in the "Freiraum" - the event hall of the culture department of studierendenWERK.
