Kindergarten

Welcome.
 
The DISDH Kindergarten:
 „ A place to feel happy “

Our children aged 2 1/2 to 5 years learn to discover the world through play and using all their senses in a safe and secure atmosphere. The developmental steps are professionally accompanied and supported.

 

SAFE AND TRUSTING BOND:

A highly qualified staffing ratio enables us to respond to the individual needs of each child and to work with the reference teacher in small groups.

 

CONCEPT:

Our pedagogical program is based on a situation-oriented model, which means that we develop and implement projects with the children based on current topics.

 

BILINGUAL TEACHING:

With the multicultural background of The Hague, we include different cultures and languages in our everyday life and promote tolerant and respectful behavior. With our Dutch teachers, the children experience multilingualism in their daily interaction. Our first language is German.

 

INVITING AND CHILD-FRIENDLY ROOM DESIGN:

Whether running or doing gymnastics: our light-flooded rooms have the right movement program for every stage of a child’s development. Especially our multi-functional “The Nautilus” room stimulates the urge to move and gives imagination to play again and again. At the same time, cozy forts and cushions in the rooms invite children to rest and hide.

 

OUTDOOR AREA:

Our kindergarten has two outdoor areas with a sand area and climbing facilities. In addition, a paved area offers many opportunities for plenty of running around. A large “vehicle area” with bobby cars, tricycles and running wheels provides a lot of enthusiasm.

Here you will find our GGD reports on the lower pages.

PEDAGOGICAL CONCEPT

We work according to the situation-oriented model and focus on movement and creativity.

 

Movement

The autonomy of the children, mutual respect and solidarity as well as respect for competences and needs are particularly important to us in the planning and structuring of our work. This also reflects our Hengstenberg physical concept. Please click here.

 

CREATIVITY

The creative development of the children is an important part of our program. Music and art are constant elements in our everyday life and offer the children a suitable opportunity to visualise their experiences and express their feelings.

ROOMS

The modern group rooms are generously proportioned, filled with light and lovingly furnished to meet the needs of the children. This means that there are no limits to the variety of movement, play and learning activities.

  • Reading and quiet room: Here the children can relax and read a book.
  • Role play room: Here the children can dress up and explore role play.
  • Building room: Here everything centers around building and constructing.
  • Painting and craft room: Creativity is well lived out here. We work with a lot of recycled material in order to experience different materials.

Two outdoor areas provide safety for the children and yet enough space to explore and move around.

The sand and climbing area offer plenty of space for independent play. In addition, a paved area offers many opportunities for running around. A large “vehicle area” with bobby cars, tricycles and running wheels provides a lot of enthusiasm.

PRE-SCHOOL

Children are little explorers. From the age of 5, the children are specifically prepared for primary school in the pre-school. Here we encourage the natural curiosity and willingness to learn of our preschool children and strengthen them in their skills and competences. We consciously design the transitions between kindergarten, preschool and primary school to be fluid and harmonious with your child’s development. We follow a situation-oriented approach and give your child stimulation and tasks that correspond to their own interests. Free play takes an important place in the daily routine.
