Daycare centre „Odenwaldstraße“

Brief information:

The „Odenwaldstraße“ daycare centre is an institution of the city of Eschborn and is situated in the complex of buildings that form the “Erlebnishaus” (adventure house). In total, 80 chil-dren between the ages of 3 and 10 are looked after the whole day in four family groups. The space provided in the individual group houses is architecturally designed for family groups. Each group house has three levels which offer differentiated areas for each individual age group. Due to staying for up to 7 years, the children are able to establish close relationships with the carers and other children.
Since older and younger children are together on a day-to-day basis, social behaviour, lan-guage development and independence are stimulated particularly. The differentiated spaces available, such as the craft room, the relaxation room, the homework room and the exercise room, offer the children the possibility of playing in small groups and pursuing their individual interests.
In addition, activities and projects for all groups are offered in the areas of exercise, creativity and crafts.
