Katholischer Kindergarten St. Joseph

The Katholische Kindergärten im Erzbistum Köln are part of a comprehensive network of educational institutions that focus on the care and education of children. These facilities are closely linked to the local parishes and offer comprehensive pedagogical care based on Christian values.

• Education and Care: The Catholic kindergartens offer comprehensive care for children from the completed third year of life until they start school. The pedagogical work is based on Christian principles and promotes the development of children in a safe and supportive environment.
• Family Centers: Many of the facilities are integrated into family centers that offer additional support and advice for families. These centers are places of community and exchange that focus on the needs of families.

The main mission of the Catholic kindergartens is to support and accompany children and families. They attach great importance to the individual support of children and cooperation with parents. The facilities are characterized by a Christian image of humanity, which emphasizes respect and appreciation for the uniqueness of each child.

Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the Catholic kindergartens strive to create an integrative and inclusive environment. They are committed to promoting disadvantaged children and families and offer open and inclusive education that adapts to the needs of society. Through close ties with the communities and participation in Christian celebrations and activities, they also promote social cohesion and religious education.

In recent years, the Catholic daycare centers have developed from a purely parish connection to independent educational institutions. This development enables them to make their pedagogical work more independent and flexible, while at the same time preserving their roots in the community. The facilities are open to children from different religious and cultural backgrounds and offer comprehensive education that is geared to the needs of modern society.
