Sustainability

It is close to our hearts as St. Johannes Kindergarten to teach the children a responsible and mindful approach to our world. For us, it is very important to teach them to treat people, animals and nature with respect on their way to adulthood.

Through various offers in our daycare center, we want to support the children in growing up to be responsible, reflective and informed people.

In our everyday life and in various projects we pay attention to this by:

• making different natural conditions tangible for humans and animals (e.g. flower meadow for insects, natural environment...)
• growing fruits, vegetables and herbs, taking care of them, watching them grow, harvesting and preparing them
• use nature as an inspiration and resource for sensory experiences and our creativity
• be mindful of the consumption of animal foods (in moderation and consciously)
• buy food regionally and conscientiously (e.g. eggs from the farmer, meat from the butcher, reduce packaging/waste...)
• being mindful of other living beings by feeding the animals in winter or taking care of the aquarium and the fish and shrimps in it
• regularly going out into the fresh air (outdoor area, trips to nature...)
