Kindergarten und Hort der Wiener Kinderfreunde

Short Description

The Kindergarten and Hort der Wiener Kinderfreunde in Döbling, Vienna, offers loving and competent care for children. With a large garden and diverse group offerings, this kindergarten promotes children's independence and experiences in nature.

About this Kindergarten

The location of the Kinderfreunde provides a kindergarten, after-school care, and toddler supervision. There are 2 toddler groups, 1 kindergarten group, 1 family group (up to 6 years), 1 family group (3–10 years), and 1 after-school group. The focus is on the garden, which provides children with a large space to promote independence and self-discovery. Children can play in the garden, collect natural materials, and plant and harvest vegetables together. The garden is maintained by the team and offers plenty of shade from coniferous trees, which is especially pleasant during hot weather.

We believe in the natural development of children's abilities and skills. This means we give children plenty of time to experiment and discover, supporting them in their idea development processes. Additionally, we work according to our child protection concept and offer educational counseling and developmental support.
