Introduction

“The role of the environment is not to shape the child, but to allow the child to reveal themselves.” (Maria Montessori)

The forest, nature, and the seasons allow children to collect important multi-sensory experiences in their calm surroundings, helping them explore between themselves and the world. The educators accompany the children on their journey in tune with nature and meet them where they are in their development.

We welcome all children in their individuality and offer them broad spaces for experiences, both alone and with others. In our forest groups, children are given countless opportunities that encourage the development and nurturing of their senses, body, language, thinking, emotions, values, and religion.

In addition to our forest pedagogical concept, we work according to the situational approach as well as the Orientation Plan for Education and Upbringing of the state of Baden-Württemberg.
