Millipede Neuenkirchen

The integrative daycare center Tausendfüßler includes the following groups:

• two crèche groups
• three integrative groups
• one forest group
• two cooperative after-school groups

Our day care center

The Tausendfüßler daycare center is an integrative/inclusive facility for children between the ages of one and ten.

In our daycare center, we work in fixed home groups. Our group doors are usually open and visits by the children to the other groups are possible by prior arrangement and are encouraged by us. After lunch, inter-group activities often take place in the exercise hall, the group rooms and on the outdoor playground.

Our kindergarten groups

Our three kindergarten groups work integratively/inclusively, i.e. we support and care for 18 children in each group, including up to four children with special needs recognized by the district of Heidekreis. You can find more information under the point integration/inclusion in our concept.

Our crèche groups

Our two crèche groups are attached to the kindergarten groups in an annex. In each group, 15 children aged one to three years are cared for by three pedagogical specialists.

Our after school groups

Adjacent to our property is the GOBS (primary and secondary school) Neuenkirchen. For school childcare after classes, we use two group units equipped for this purpose. Here we care for up to 40 children by 4 pedagogical specialists. During homework time, additional specialists are employed.

During the school vacations, there is the possibility of taking advantage of a vacation group that requires registration. The care times for this group will be communicated in writing.
