Municipal Inclusive Elementary School, Hertleinstr. 59a

The inclusive elementary school learning center is located at Am Anger, 59a Hertleinstraße, and is part of the family support center based in this neighborhood. It serves children from the Pestalozzi School (district school) as well as from the Otfried Preußler School on Liegnitzerstraße.

The division into two core groups of ten children each is implemented almost exclusively within the weekly schedule, as the layout of the space leaves no other option.
On Monday, each group holds a circle time to plan the week.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the children plan guided small-group activities for up to five participants, in which participation is mandatory once a week. On these two days, the remaining children engage in cross-group free play.
On Wednesdays, one group takes turns each week organizing a cooking activity, while the other group decides internally how it would like to spend the day.
On Fridays, larger games or events are organized by one group for the other on a weekly rotation.
Before that, children’s meetings may take place. Lunch and homework time are spent exclusively within the home groups.

The elementary school building features an entrance area with a stage, two large group rooms organized by core groups (one of which has an integrated open kitchen), an activity room, a workshop with storage, a homework room, an office, a library with office space, and two coat rooms. The large, enclosed garden with many mature trees is also used as an outdoor area by the adjacent preschool.

In accordance with Section 1 of the KJHG, our guiding principle is “To nurture children into responsible individuals capable of contributing to the community!”

The focus is on your child and his or her development, education, and care, taking into account his or her life context, so that we can meet the child where he or she is.

Accordingly, our focus is on the further development and strengthening of:

• personal competencies
• skills for functioning in a social context
• learning methodology skills
• the ability to cope effectively with change and stress
• Daily routines and practical life skills
• Educational Partnership with Parents
