The multicultural concept is progressive
Besides the nice team and the consistency that comes with a fixed group, the multicultural approach convinced Jasmin from Starkita. She finds it very important to teach the children values like tolerance and openness. "The children should be open with everyone, no matter where the person comes from or what they look like. Conceptually, you're very progressive here."
The job as a group leader is demanding and varied
The varied tasks as a group leader at Starkita are also a plus for Jasmin. "Of course, my tasks primarily include many educational things, such as leading craft projects and sports lessons or singing together. In addition, I conduct many parent meetings." The variety of tasks also makes her job demanding, but that's the only way to develop, says Jasmin.
The profession of educator is underestimated
In society, there is often a lack of awareness of the pedagogical value of daycare and the challenges that daycare teachers face. Jasmin often has to deal with statements such as "Playing and doing handicrafts can't be that exhausting. She says, "The profession is often talked up."
The Friends of Nature House is an annual highlight
Under normal circumstances, the daycare center's daily routine holds many special highlights in store. These include, for example, a two-day excursion to the Naturfreunde Haus in the summer or the joint celebrations. "You often have the opportunity there to get to know the parents a little better and build up contact with them," says Jasmin. Because of the Corona pandemic, however, these activities could not take place as usual last year. Jasmin said the cancellation hit hard. "You could definitely tell something was missing. The trip to the Friends of Nature House is always a nice way to end the day before the children go to kindergarten. It's too bad it didn't work out this year."
