Heart project childcare
From the initial idea to the opening, "Getzners Buntspechtle" was a special concern of Perrine Getzner. As coordinator of the project, she particularly emphasizes the importance of high-quality childcare for returning to work. "The facility meets the criteria of the 'Compatibility Indicator Families and Work' (VIF) through extended opening hours and thus offers parents the highest possible flexibility."

Pedagogical focus "MINT
In the nature childcare "Getzners Buntspechtle", the sixteen children aged two to three years spend most of their time outdoors - rituals such as the daily morning circle or the break for a snack take place in nature. The pedagogical director Silke Wachter explains: "It is particularly important for us that the focus is always on the child and its needs. We want to give the children a playful approach to education, because playing is learning and the highest form of research, as Einstein already knew. For this, the child needs an environment in which he or she feels comfortable and material that encourages exploration."
