Here are a few more detailed examples:
Fostering movement
Movement is one of the most elementary ways in which children behave and express themselves.
When motor skills are fostered and strengthened, the child gains greater dexterity and becomes more
confident as they continue to discover their environment.
Fostering gross motor skills
This is done in age-appropriate ways. Examples include maintaining balance, balancing, walking on tiptoe, throwing and catching a ball, coordination games, climbing stairs fluidly, dressing
oneself, fetching materials, being able to stack and transport boxes, learning stamina, throwing, running and climbing competitions, and much more.
Developing language skills
It is through language that a child forms their identity and develops their personality. Children experience and discover that language has a vital function as an instrument of communication and
affection.
Artistic forms of expression
The field of creativity and design is important for children’s development.
The Glückskinder team offers all our little explorers the chance to test themselves. For example, we offer
age-appropriate craft activities in a playful way, led by specialist staff.
Fostering fine motor skills
e.g. cutting, crafts, holding a pencil correctly, finger and hand dexterity, folding work, finger games, threading beads, drawing, special materials such as feathers, sticks,
laying materials, music and rhythm, etc.
Developing cognitive skills
Logical thinking, memory, concentration, stamina, thirst for knowledge, curiosity, drawing conclusions, judgement (positive or negative), sense of justice, etc.
Opening hours
Glückskinder is open all day, all year round.
We will be happy to care for your child Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm.
Holidays/INSET days
We want the children – and the Glückskinder team – to be able to spend the important family time of Christmas and New Year with their nearest and dearest.
On certain days the Glückskinder team works internally in order to gain further educational skills, constantly improve the internal processes and guarantee our high quality standards. Therefore,
no childcare is provided on the conceptional days.
All details to specific dates and holidays are given in the following pdf´s of your facility.

Mealtimes
Mealtimes are a key part of the children’s daily routine. We lay the table together (as far as possible), eat together, clear up together and help one another. The eating area is subtly separated
from the areas where there is a lot of play and action, so that the children can concentrate fully on the meal.
For lunch, we serve only high quality foods (including organic products, regional produce etc.). The meals are prepared externally in a special kitchen and delivered to us fresh every day in time
for lunch.
Breakfast and afternoon snacks are prepared every day by our own domestic staff. We ensure that a varied range of foods is offered. Of course, there will be a small sweet treat on selected
days.
If you would like more detailed information on this, take a look at our current menu.
Tax information
Up to two thirds of childcare costs are currently tax deductible, but only up to a maximum of EUR 4,000 per year. Your tax advisor will be able to provide you with more details on these tax
regulations and their relevance for your tax situation.
Needless to say, we will provide you with an invoice in proper form once a year, which you can submit to your local tax office.
