Is this helpful?
In Farfallina, every child is welcome, regardless of their circumstances, development, origin, religion, and language. Each child is picked up and accompanied at their individual developmental level. Pedagogy
The foundation of our pedagogical work is the pedagogy of Rudolf Steiner. What is particularly important to us:
- A large space is given to play. Free, imaginative play is encouraged.
- Children learn through imitation; the caregivers engage in meaningful and comprehensible activities such as sewing, painting, kneading, wiping, etc., thus stimulating the children's initiative.
- By providing enough space and time, we support the children in developing their independence.
- A lot of time is spent outside together.
- The child experiences a rhythmically structured daily routine and seasonal festivals.
- The ability to fantasize and sensory development are promoted. This is made possible through activities such as baking bread, grinding grain, kneading with modeling wax,
- The targeted use of natural materials from the environment is encouraged. The toys are also predominantly made from natural materials such as wood, stone, etc. - Together, the children learn the rules of social interaction and respectful communication with one another.
- The children are cared for in age-mixed groups according to the family system to gain diverse social experiences and form relationships.
- The nutrition is age-appropriate, balanced, varied, and healthy.
We work with a key person system. The responsible educators maintain regular communication with the parents. Trust, transparency, openness, respect, and appreciation are important to us in our collaboration. Team
The team sees itself as the foundation of Farfallina and as a role model for the children. We maintain authentic and professional communication both in team meetings and in everyday life. A good atmosphere is important to us, where employees, children, and parents can feel safe and secure.
