Resumo: (kindergarten)
The hosting organization is a small outdoor kindergarten in the hills, totally embedded in nature. It is a non-profit organization run by the parents of the children attending the kindergarten. The idea of the organization is based on a humanistic philosophy. We live diversity, are open minded to different cultures, religions, and rainbow families. The main targets of the teachers are to build up an individual relationship with the kids and to respect and take the individual needs of the kids. Our meaning of education is more to accompany the children and help if they need it, but not to lecture them. Each child is accepted as an individual, encouraged to develop self-consciousness and selfconfidence.

The main focus of our kindergarten is on being in nature. The kids spend most of the time outside, in the woods and fields around or in their own kindergarten garden. Besides the kindergarten building the kids have a Mongolian yurt where they can have shelter in case of heavy rain or really cold weather.
There are a maximum 14kids/day between the ages of 2,5 and 6, and two teachers looking after them from Monday to Friday from 8:15 am till 4:00 pm. The kids are picked up form the teachers at a meeting point at two different public transport stations in the city and then go up in the Viennese hills to their kindergarten by public transport (20 minutes). We regularly host volunteers, and the pedagogues offer caring experience in accompanying them. Also the kids are used and open to newcomers. The parents are involved in the daily life of the kindergarten, for example once a week for a cooking service or for everything that is needed to run a kindergarten, like buying material for handicraft work, snacks, looking after the yurt, the garden, organizing, etc. The children’s group offers a family like environment for the kids and the staff.
