The Kinderhaus is a municipal childcare facility of the town Maintal, district Bischofsheim. Maintal is in close proximity to financial center Frankfurt and counts approximately 40.000 residents. Maintal is directly connected to the conurbation of the Rhine-Main; many commuters are therefore based here. The Kinderhaus is visited from Primary children’s school and kindergarten children aged 3 to 12 years from 25 different nations. Educational priorities are the natural and forest-related education, the competency-based and individual tutoring of children, gifted children and the integration of children with special needs and disabled. Here we see diversity as natural and enriching. This means, in this case, we don’t have children who need an individual special care any more, but every child need an individual special care in his own way. Therefore supporting these children will become ordinary. In the area of natural forest education we developed and installed for kindergarten children an integrated forest group. The forest has its particular features and materials for the children of a specific education and development space.
” This project offers the opportunity to formulate national goals on an international education platform and to make this process sustainable. The extension of our own experiences, the reflection of one’s own attitudes, knowledge of other education systems and the dialog offers many possibilities and opportunities to expand their own context and to promote the social value of child development. “
