Kath. Kindertagesstätte St.Marien

The Kath. Kindergarten St. Marien in Wickede is a modern, three-group daycare center that is dedicated to the loving and holistic care and support of children aged from under three years to preschool. With a bright and well-equipped environment, it creates optimal conditions for the individual development of the children. Particular emphasis is placed on a gentle settling-in period, which is designed with loving attention and close support to enable the children to have a safe and secure start[1][2][4].

The facility sees education as a joint task in which parents and pedagogical specialists work together in partnership to best support the children on their way into the future. The pedagogical work is based on the values of the Christian image of humanity, which focuses on charity, appreciation, honesty, equality and friendliness. These values are reflected in the daily interactions and have a lasting impact on the social climate of the facility[1].

As part of the family center in association (i.V.) with the other Catholic daycare centers St. Antonius and St. Josef in Wickede, St. Marien offers additional support for families. The family center provides a network that enables advice, care and practical assistance in everyday family life. The aim is to improve the quality of life of families in the social area and to strengthen their parenting skills through early prevention and targeted support services. The family center is open to all families and promotes an integrative social structure[3][5].

Sustainability is practiced by the facility, in particular in the holistic development of the children and in the responsible use of resources. The pedagogical concept promotes environmental awareness, social competence and value orientation at an early stage, which are important for the sustainable development of the children and the community. The family-centered work also supports a sustainable strengthening of social networks in the community[1][3].

Overall, the Kath. Kindergarten St. Marien stands for qualified, value-oriented and family-friendly care that promotes children in their individuality, relieves the burden on families and assumes social responsibility. It combines modern pedagogical approaches with Christian values and social integration, thus contributing to the healthy and sustainable development of the young generation.
