own space with a
photo of
themselves.
Here we hang
our coats and put
our shoes before
we go to our
group.
4. Morning
circle
Every morning at
9 o´clock we meet
in the circle. We talk
about relevant
topics, for example
which day, month
and season it is or
which project we
have in the house.
After that we sing
and play games.
5. Breakfast

The children bring
their own
breakfast from
home.
We offer them
milk, tea or water
to drink.
It´s so nice to sit
here and talk to
my friends.

7. Freeplay and special activities
10:30 – 11:30h
After all the projects it´s time
for our freeplay in the garden.
Sometimes we go for nature
walks or visit our town
Kaiserswerth, or go to the
sheeps.
Whatever the weather we go
outside for at least an hour.
In the afternoon we can go
outside, too, till we pick up.
8. Lunchtime
Everyday the children will
share a cooked lunch.
Before we start we say a
prayer.
We eat in two groups.
The first group eats at 11:30h.
After that they will have their
nap.
At 12:30h the second group
eats, followed by quiet time.
9. Quiet time
12:00 – 14:00h
Babies and younger children have a nap in the quiet time. Quiet time for
the older children is not just for chilling out or listening to story books. It
´s also quality time for them. They have the opportunity to choose e.g.
from a big variety of montessori-toys, board games etc.
10. Snacktime and freeplay time
14:30 – 16:30
In the afternoon the children
get a snack which they help to
prepare.
After the snack some children
participate in different
projects.
If the weather is fine, we go
outside.
11. Going home
This is when it‘s time
to go home and say
goodbye for today
