Introduction
Rooms at ratZFatz: The daycare center is located on the ground floor of the ZF Plant 1. ZF's company medical service is located on the upper floor. The light-filled building, built in 2015, offers daycare spaces that provide safety, orientation, and reliability. They invite shared discovery and are "places of learning and development." Our rooms are exciting workshops where children can embark on individual journeys of discovery, based on their respective developmental stage and at their own pace.
Outdoor Facilities: Located in the heart of the city, the natural outdoor area offers children plenty of space to realize their own ideas through play and creativity. A water playground, nest swing, and slides stimulate the senses, promote mobility, and develop cognitive skills. Sand, leaves, small stalks and branches, soil, water, flowers, beetles, and much more encourage the children to explore and discover. Their creativity is fueled. Playing and learning outdoors means experiencing, hiding, climbing, romping, digging, romping, playing, running... and having fun.
Closing days: The daycare center has a maximum of 10 closing days, which are divided between Christmas and New Year, as well as 5 additional pedagogical team days on which the employees deal with quality management, for example, or take part in seminars and training courses.
For those interested: A tour of the facility is available for interested parents every last Friday of the month at 4:00 PM. Registration is by email to the management: kita-ratzfatz@educcare.de. As a company daycare center, places are only available to families with at least one parent employed by ZF. Registration is only possible via the "LittleBird" portal. Places are allocated annually between January and March for the daycare year from September to August.
Pedagogical Concept: The educcare educational and upbringing concept forms the foundation of our professional pedagogical work in our daycare centers. We have set ourselves the goal of providing excellent education and care for every child. Our educational and upbringing concept is based on the latest findings in educational research and developmental psychology, the educational programs and agreements of the federal states, and legal requirements. It describes our "image of the child" and, with our motto "A child is what is inside them," expresses our appreciative attitude towards each individual child.
We warmly welcome every family – regardless of origin, gender, religion, or social status. Experience our daycare center as a second home, an excellent place of education for your child, which supports you in balancing family and work life.
Our educational work is guided by your child's individuality, experiences, environment, and culture. With loving care and attention, in an environment characterized by security and safety, children can embark on an exciting journey of discovery every day.
With sensitivity and attention, fun, and a high level of expertise, our educational professionals support the children as supporters, inspirational speakers, and dialogue partners. Our close and trusting collaboration with you, the parents, is characterized by appreciation, transparency, dialogue, and openness. Your feedback is expressly welcome and supports us in achieving our goal of providing excellent education and care for every child.
Meals: Children need healthy, varied meals for optimal physical and mental development. The educcare meal plan fulfills this nutritional mandate while simultaneously teaching children knowledge and skills about food. Meals and nutrition are therefore an important part of our care and education.
