Wichtelstube e.V. - Verein zur Förderung der Waldorfpädagogik

Our Waldorf kindergarten was founded in Berlin in 2013. The familial group consists of 17 children aged between 1.5 and 7 years. Our small kindergarten is a harmonious and at the same time lively space of experience for the healthy growing up of the children. This involves the loving care of the adults, but also the interaction with the other children. In an atmosphere of care, with loving relationships and a rhythmically structured daily routine, we want to offer the children a place where they can fully evolve. We treat the child with respect and love – each child should be accompanied according to its individual nature and development possibilities. We offer them an environment in which they can experience active adults who they can imitate and in whom they can educate themselves. The basis of our work is the anthroposophical image of humankind according to Rudolf Steiner. We see the child as an individual, unfolding personality. Our kindergarten offers a large, beautiful garden in which the children play everyday in summer and winter. In our kindergarten all children, regardless of their origin or their individual abilities, should feel safe and accepted.
