Introduction/specifics

We cultivate a social, family-oriented, Christian community. We treat all families and lifestyles with openness and without judgement, and we strive to recognise and take into account the needs, wishes and ideas of parents so that we can work together for the benefit of the children. As a mark of quality, we are proud to carry the Plus Kita and Family Centre seals of approval. The daycare centre offers the opportunity to create a shared living space.

Rooms

Each of the four groups has a group room in which different play areas can be set up as required, as well as an adjoining room, a bedroom in the two small groups, a storage room for materials and a washroom with two toilets and a nappy-changing area.
