Introduction/specifics

My name is Silvana Humann, born in 1981, I have two children born in 2005 and 2013. I am a trained lawyer and notary. After my second child started kindergarten, I wanted to balance work and family and decided to train as a childminder. In 2017/2018, I and my friend began training to become a qualified childminder through Diakoniewerk Essen. Since June 2018 we have been certified child day care workers by the Federal Association for Child Day Care e.V. In August 2018 we opened the large day care “Frohnhauser Purzelzwerge” together.

Here the children are welcome to try everything that is put on the table. It is less important that the children eat everything. There is no pressure to eat.

Basics

The children should feel comfortable and secure. You should come to us with fun and joy. He will learn how to treat other children with respect. In addition, it should be lovingly introduced to rules and rituals. Rituals support this because they give structure to everyday life and provide orientation for the children. Children learn with and from each other. How can you help, comfort or even compromise the other person? Through our work, the children are prepared step by step for kindergarten.
