Forest daycare – The right decision!
Testimonial from a forest kindergarten mother from Tegernheim and good reasons to become one.
Since January 2023, we, as the sponsor of this forest kindergarten, have been opening the door to the outdoors for little researchers:
day after day, children encounter the wonders and challenges of nature. Simply by the changing weather and seasons, the forest turns into a play world where children are constantly discovering new adventures. The encounter with living creatures and the diverse play materials, such as sticks, stones, and cones, make both the beautiful forest clearing and the path leading up to it an incredibly rich educational space.

On November 22nd at 7:00 PM, the information evening will take place at the fire station in Tegernheim. Here, you will learn everything you want to know – from A like pickup time to Z like future-oriented.
This week, the forest children had the opportunity to visit our neighbors, who are also dedicated parents within our daycare community.
It was only in January 23 that we gathered around the bonfire in this constellation. Our young team brings along a breath of fresh air and diverse experiences – from other areas as well. We, together with the children, are currently creating common rituals for our daily routine by trying out what works well. Will we keep the “tea bag soothsaying oracle” to start the day? We will see. In any case, we enjoy the creative freedom and the “magic of new beginnings”.
We welcome each day together. What will happen next? We are curious and excited! Because from now on, we are guided by the children’s ideas, the weather, or whatever else we encounter along the way. One thing is certain: our shared snack and the ritual of the closing circle. Here we discuss: “What was good, what didn’t you like so much?” For solid anchors and lots of room to play are what characterize our day. Why not join us on our journey – we’d love to have you come along on a trial day!
With us, the children shape their everyday lives themselves. Their curiosity guides us. When a fire flares up, we try to fuel it. However, not every idea ignites. But in nature, “sparks” are everywhere – and a whole new game develops, and in the process, so does the child.

The registration and assignment of places for the next educational year is carried out during the registration period of the city of Herrieden. However, you can contact us any time to arrange a trial session. It is never too early or too late to get to know us! Come by and find out if we are the right place for your child.
We are looking for COllaborative WORKERS (m/f/d): whether it is here in this facility or elsewhere with our sponsor institution – get involved where you can and let’s shape education together.
Building your own camp, coordinating the task together and constructing a stable “roof over your head” as a team – this is one of the favourite activities in the forest. And, simultaneously, a high art of education. Because this is where “life skills” develop: agreeing, contributing, bearing the frustration when things don’t hold. The list could be continued indefinitely. Creative work, however, is not limited to natural materials in our daycare centre. Of course, we also paint, do handicrafts or simply read to relax.
