The Kinderheim Alte Schule is an educational institution in private ownership that has existed since 1973, offering young people from preschool age to independence a loving second home. Up to 16 children and young people currently live and learn in three small groups in a family atmosphere that enables intensive relationship work and individual support. The facility attaches great importance to personal care by a dedicated team of 16 employees, including educators, social workers and housekeepers[1][3][5].
The children's home is located in Aarbergen-Daisbach, a rural town in the Lower Taunus, nestled in a village environment that promotes integration and social networking. The aim is to open up opportunities for social participation and self-determination for children and young people whose development has been impaired. This includes imparting social skills and supporting the development and expansion of their own social relationships, as well as promoting independence, for example through apartments provided for older adolescents. The children's home also supports constructive cooperation with the families of origin in order to strengthen family relationships and resolve conflicts[2].
In addition to group care, the educational services also include therapeutic measures that are individually tailored to the needs of the children. Each child has their own, individually designed room as a retreat. In addition, keeping small animals and participating in a variety of leisure activities are part of the care concept, creating a diverse and practical learning environment[1][2][3].
Sustainability and social responsibility are reflected in the holistic approach of the facility. The children's home promotes a long-term, stable living environment for the young people in its care and thus contributes to sustainable social development. The regional integration and social interaction in the village also support an ecologically and socially responsible way of life through proximity to nature and community[2].
Overall, the Kinderheim Alte Schule stands for appreciative, individual support in a protected environment that offers children and young people security, a sense of home and development opportunities. The established concept combines professional pedagogy with heartfelt commitment and relies on a trusting, family atmosphere that gives children space to grow and realize themselves[1][2][3][5].
