Municipal integrative playroom Junkersstraße 1

The children in the playroom mainly come from the Bruck district. This means that the playroom's catchment area is the Brucker Lache elementary school. The facility supports children and their families who find themselves in challenging circumstances and have an increased need for education, upbringing and support. The families are accompanied in an appreciative, supportive and intensive collaboration. The focus is on jointly improving the children's future prospects.

The focal points/special features of our educational work are: Small groups are formed from the main groups (bees and frogs), which correspond to the similar developmental stage/age of the children. This has advantages for the children: The children bring similar needs, interests, skills, developmental requirements and forms of understanding. The groups meet several times a week

Goals for the "Minis":

- Exercises to improve both fine motor skills and gross motor skills

- Developing fun with movement (movement songs, gymnastics)

- Create language opportunities (finger games, movement songs, reading time)

- Getting to know the premises

- First group experience (rituals, rules, daily structure and social learning)

Goals for the "middle children":

- Language as a key function for full participation in social and cultural life

- Motivation and ability to communicate

- Further development of structures to create diverse experiences around book-narrative rhymes and written culture

Goals for the "preschoolers":

The lesson is structured similarly to a school lesson in order to slowly accustom the children to the school atmosphere. The aim is to strengthen the children's ability to concentrate, their perseverance in listening and their ability to complete tasks carefully and purposefully. In this way, the children should lay the foundations for a successful school attendance. Numbers, shapes and letters are covered so that the children can familiarize themselves with them. The children's motor, emotional and social development is also positively influenced by the various exercises.

The playroom is a newly built facility in a new family center of the city of Erlangen. It is located on the 1st floor of the building.

The playroom has two main group rooms, a movement room, two sanitary rooms, a shower room with changing table, an office, a roof terrace and a small outdoor area (accessible from the roof terrace). The spacious multi-purpose room on the first floor can also be used for parties and celebrations.

Other educational goals of the playroom are Promoting motor skills (creating movement opportunities and spaces for experience), promoting social skills (developing and practising conversation rules and conflict resolution strategies, strengthening group spirit), participation (involvement in educational activities), teaching healthy eating (preparing breakfast together, themed excursions, everyday learning, playful introduction to the topic of "nutrition").
