“One of the most remarkable human skills is to work together on problems or tasks that could not be tackled alone. [...] It encompasses the ability to develop goals and attention together with others and the collective motivation to help and share with others. "

Max Plank Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology

The Naturpark, as a protected landscape area whose underlying idea is "protection through use", represents an exciting location for kindergartens: It is a natural place of learning with a wide range of tasks and cooperatives.

In Naturpark Day care centers allow children to rediscover nature, understand connections, get to know their region; look at home from a different perspective. A connection to nature and natural contexts should be built up in mindful encounters.

Children should learn to deal with nature carefully and responsibly, right from the start. First playfully, then of course. The experiences gathered with all your senses encourage you to get further involved with the connections and needs of nature and also to question them, to go on a voyage of discovery.
