The Lebensbaumweg daycare center cares for approximately 45 children aged two to school age in two groups. The daycare center is currently located in Chorweiler-Nord in the former Usedomstraße daycare center as temporary accommodation. The four-group daycare center has a spacious outdoor area and a variety of function rooms. From the central hall of the daycare center, the children can move to the various functional areas and pursue their interests.
• Large central hall, leading to four functional areas with adjoining side rooms (construction room, creative room, gym, role-play room, cafeteria). Each area has an adjoining washroom with toilets.
• Under-3s area with bedroom, washroom with changing area.
• A staff room
• An office
• A kitchen
The daycare center has a spacious outdoor area with three large sandboxes, trees, and hedges that invite children to play and explore. The children have the opportunity to drive vehicles around the grounds.

The children have the opportunity to participate in the breakfast offered by the daycare center. It consists of cereal, bread, yogurt, and raw vegetables. Lunch is freshly prepared every day by our chef.
The children actively participate in designing the menu, supported by our staff, who ensure that the meals are varied and balanced.
We take a holistic educational approach in our daily work. The children have the opportunity to experience their environment with all their senses. In addition to the seasonal cycle, everyday life at the daycare center is characterized by a wide range of projects. It is important to us that the children actively shape this everyday life with their individual interests and inclinations.
Promoting the children's language development is at the forefront of our educational work. This includes creating a wide variety of language opportunities through diverse experiences, thereby supporting and promoting the development of each child's own language skills.
As a Protestant institution, religious education and the teaching of Christian values are an integral part of our work.
In our daycare center, we work according to an open concept. The children are not permanently assigned to a fixed group, but can move freely between the different functional areas according to their age and interests and become active there, always accompanied by the educational staff.
• One manager
• Ten full-time and part-time teaching staff
• One domestic worker
• One cook
• Protestant Family Education Center
• Center for Early Treatment and Early Intervention
Elementary schools in the area
The basis of our educational work is that parents and staff share responsibility for supporting the child.
We begin discussing the child with the parents as early as the preparation phase for settling in. We want to shape this sensitive time of starting daycare together so that the child can feel secure right from the start.
This exchange is further cultivated through short daily conversations, scheduled development meetings, parents' evenings, and activities.
In addition, we regularly consult with the elected parents' council to discuss issues that concern all parents and changes and improvements that are necessary and possible.
• Excursions in the neighborhood
• Family church service
• Visits to the fire station, zoo, library
• Visits to the police station and related traffic safety education
• Celebrations (summer festival, St. Martin's Day, Christmas party, Carnival, Easter)
The admission criteria are determined and reviewed by the institution's council (parents' council, employees, representatives of the sponsoring organization).
The basic criteria are:
• Date of birth
• Siblings
• Religion of the child or parents
• Special social family situation
• Proximity to the community
• Residence in the district
• Parents' employment status
• Single parents
