Parents

Parents are always most welcome here!

We love to see them take an interest in our work and participate in the joint events.

Nurturing an educational partnership with the parents essentially means taking an interest in the home life of the family, in their cultural background, in their ideas about upbringing and in the values associated with this.

A good basis for trust and a culture of mutual appreciation are vital if the children, parents and crèche team are to feel comfortable with each other.

This means working with the parents to find solutions if a child requires support or special encouragement on account of how they are developing or their behaviour. It also means letting the parents know which pedagogical attitudes and cultural values apply in the crèche, what is tolerated and where the boundaries lie for individual parental wishes.

Parental satisfaction

kihz conducts a survey among parents in its crèches every year to gauge satisfaction.

A parents' committee places an onus on both sides

In order to give the cooperation its proper status, each of our crèches has a parents' committee with duties and rights.

We provide clear information and involve the parents in all the important decision-making processes. In return, we expect their input and critical feedback, suggestions for improvements and joint solutions.
