Waldkindergarten Feldafing - Kinderwerkstatt e.V.

The Waldkindergarten Feldafing is a parent-run, non-profit association that, as one of the oldest state-recognized forest kindergartens in Upper Bavaria, operates two groups for children aged approximately three years until they start school. The pedagogical concept is based on the Scandinavian idea of forest pedagogy, in which children are cared for and encouraged almost exclusively outdoors in nature. The focus is on self-determined experience and learning, supported by a situational reference to the individual needs and life situations of the children in accordance with the Bavarian Education and Upbringing Plan.

The children spend their kindergarten day in the forest, where they develop motor skills, endurance, concentration and social skills such as mindfulness and conflict resolution in a practical way. The educators promote curiosity and confidence in their own independence, provide space for imaginative and group games, and enable the children to have an intensive relationship with nature and the seasons. A construction trailer serves as a shelter, housing materials for crafting, tools and books.

Sustainability is a central concern of the Waldkindergarten Feldafing. The nature-oriented care promotes awareness of environmental issues and emphasizes ecological education. The use of natural materials as well as living and learning in harmony with nature support the development of a responsible approach to the environment from an early age. The kindergarten sees itself as a community project, supported by the commitment of parents, professionals and support from the local population and local businesses, without any institutional funding or large amounts of equity.

Overall, the Waldkindergarten Feldafing offers an innovative, natural and sustainable care and education program that holistically promotes children, does justice to their natural development and accompanies them with respect and appreciation.
