We carefully prepare the children for their transition from kindergarten to school. In order to ensure a smooth transition, an age-appropriate program is offered for these children as part of the cooperation with the elementary school. This program is conducted by a kindergarten teacher and a teacher from the elementary school. The children meet once a week for a complete morning in a special “Vorschule” room. The room is set up similar to a school classroom. The morning is structured based on a school day. School rituals are practiced in a playful way. We work closely with the elementary school and provide our children with targeted support in various areas of competence during their last year of kindergarten. The kindergarten teacher has the opportunity to promote and support the child more intensively in his or her individual development in the small group. In the second half of the year, further interesting activities take place for the children in Vorschule. By observing a lesson at school, they become familiar with the routine of a school lesson and break. In the last three months, the Vorschule children spend a break together with the elementary school students. Each child receives a mentor starting in 1st grade who accompanies them through the school on this day.
