Experience-based day care center „Kita Campulino”

The daycare centre "Kita Campulino" is located in Philippsburg and provides education and care for 115 children between the ages of 1 and 6 years. The children are divided in different age groups and are welcomed  with attention to inclusion, no matter what nationality or social background they have.

The pedagogical approach of the Kita focuses on holistic education, individual support and the social development of each child. The educational offer promotes independence, social skills and creativity. Through experience- and activity-oriented learning, children are encouraged to explore their environment, develop new skills and learn through their own experiences.

An important part of the educational concept is the individual support of each child according to their personal needs and stage of development. The educators accompany the children in their everyday activities and create opportunities for them to develop their independence, creativity and social competences. 

Additional excursions to museums, the town, parks or play grounds and cooperations with other institutions take place: it is essential in the pedagogical concept that the children are in contact with nature and surroundings as much as possible.
