The
The Kinderhaus Sillenbuch e.V. is a long-established parent-child initiative in Stuttgart-Sillenbuch that has been practicing close cooperation between parents and pedagogical professionals for almost five decades. The care and education of the children is carried out jointly, with parents actively taking responsibility as sponsors: Together with the pedagogical team, they shape the principles, organize administration and decision-making processes, and thus significantly influence the direction of the facility[2][3].
The Kinderhaus is aimed at children aged 1 to 6 and offers them individual, holistic support in modern premises that are constantly being developed and energetically renovated. A new building project was recently realized to replace old buildings with environmentally conscious and sustainable timber construction with improved insulation[7][5]. The two neighboring buildings, the Sonnenhaus and the Sternenhaus, are connected by a glass bridge that provides children and educators with weather-protected access and makes everyday life easier[5].
The pedagogical work is characterized by a partnership-based education that promotes social learning, responsibility and participation of the children. The close connection between parents, educators and the children creates a family atmosphere in which values such as community, openness and respect are firmly anchored[2][3].
Sustainability and social responsibility play an important role in the Kinderhaus Sillenbuch. This is reflected in the environmentally friendly construction of the new building, the promotion of resource-saving practices and the strengthening of social skills among children in the sense of sustainable social development. The active involvement of parents also takes social sustainability seriously as a community commitment[7][2].
In addition to pedagogical care, the Kinderhaus offers a variety of events, festivals and opportunities for parental involvement, which strengthen the community and promote identification with the facility. Applications from pedagogical professionals and interns are welcome, which also positions the Kinderhaus Sillenbuch as a learning and development-promoting place for professionals[2].
Overall, the Kinderhaus Sillenbuch e.V. stands for an engaged parent-child initiative that, with high pedagogical quality and a sustainable approach, offers children a loving, supportive environment and actively integrates parents into responsibility and design - a living example of communal, future-oriented growing up in the heart of Stuttgart.
