STEM

The foundation for learning and understanding scientific relationships is formed in early childhood education.

We use the children's natural interest in everyday STEM topics and support them in investigating a subject independently and methodically. The prelude to STEM topics is started with us by the children's questions about "why", "how" or "what for".
Before children can consciously acquire specific skills and knowledge in the fields of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology, they must first experience basic contexts in a very haptic way. Their own perceptions, ways of thinking and emotions play a key role in this. From physical-emotional everyday situations, the targeted examination of a question develops with the inclusion of creativity and free spaces.
In addition to a continuous learning environment, we offer above all the openness to accompany children in their individual developmental steps. Our focus is on taking up scientific questions and playfully learning methodological skills to understand background information.
The learning environment in our kindergarten is therefore open and child-oriented. We use morning circles, observations and conversations to find and pick up on scientific topics. We use magnifying glasses, folding rulers, different sized reagent jars, marble runs, smart boards, building blocks, finger paints, experimental tubs and sponges.
With the children's interest and learning pace, we thereby promote methodical learning skills and the foundation for an interest in scientific processes.
In addition to learning about science and mathematics, the children also gain their first experiences with computer science and technology. Understanding connections through experiments and research also forms the basic building block for understanding modern information technology.
