Day Care Activities
Montessori education for all
After careful consideration of demand and existing opportunities, we decided to prepare the necessary installations and open the day care in July 2023. We had to construct a small kitchen in order to prepare hot food for the kids and a new toilet block. We have ensured that we meet the necessary hygiene measures to comply with the existing regulations. Soon after announcing our new day care offer, we received the first applications. This confirmed to us that we were right to offer day care and education to all. With our educated employees, we will ensure professional, efficient and high-quality care for the children.
Day care in Kiharaka
Day care centers are important for children to experience daily life with their peers and support early learning. We ensure that children can develop and integrate different backgrounds equally.
Watoto Wetu day care has adopted a Montessori philosophy to take a great responsibility in the education, promotion and integration of the children. We attach great importance to a stimulating and age appropriate design of spaces and play facilities. Our minders have a special pedagogical training and promote and monitor the individual development of each child in the group.
The constant and reliable relationship with the caregivers is crucial. So that the children feel at home in day care, a good and close cooperation with the parents is indispensable. Watoto Wetu day care centre operates according to the systemic approach. They offer regular parent meetings and evenings, festivals and events information.
The supervisors speak with the children Kiswahili (mother tongue) and English. When crossing to nursery they have therefore already prior knowledge of English.
