Our Facility

Our four-group Montessori-Kinderhaus Lumper Höhe is located about 1.5 kilometers outside the city center in the eastern part of Ravensburg. There is a bus stop and parking spaces in the immediate vicinity, and we are easily accessible by bicycle from the city center via the new bicycle bridge over Wangener Straße. Meadows, forests, and various playgrounds can be reached within a few minutes’ walk. Our group rooms are filled with natural light and are well structured by open shelves stocked with Montessori materials.

Areas for role play, building, a reading corner, and small kitchen unit complement the opportunities available to the children within their group rooms.

For lunch, the house offers its own children’s cafeteria, where everyone finds enough space and tranquility to enjoy their meal.

In the multipurpose room, we satisfy our need for movement and use it for a variety of activities such as music, theatre, and role play.

In the quiet room, the children find time and tranquility to recharge so they can return rested to their daily life at the childcare center.

The seasons and the children’s needs shape our offerings in the creative area.

Basics

Pedagogical aspects

Foundation

Montessori education is an educational concept that is directly oriented toward the child and consistently takes the child’s needs and interests into account.

Key ideas and guiding principles include:

• Engaging with the child in their current situation.
• Recognizing the child’s personality and dignity.
• Accepting the child as they are, not as they should be.
• Providing support to solve problems creatively.
• Educating towards responsibility, compassion, and peace.

We understand that the challenge of community-based work lies in connecting the old and new residential neighborhoods and their residents.

All children — in all their diversity and backgrounds, linguistic – cultural – social, shall be accompanied with equal appreciation, their strengths supported, and their weaknesses lovingly acknowledged, with the goal of modeling a respectful and harmonious coexistence in all its diversity.

To support this, parents must be involved and included. Celebrations within the childcare center or across facilities, as well as a parent café as a place of encounter, are just as important as brief chats with individual parents.
