Lewenberg • The "nidulus" daycare center, located on the grounds of the Helios Clinics Schwerin, is a nursery facility of the Kita gGmbH. Its unique educational focus and 24-hour opening hours complement the childcare offerings in Schwerin. The educational concept is based on the scientific findings of the renowned Hungarian pediatrician Emmi Pikler. Key principles include respecting the child's initiative, supporting its independence, ensuring close and familiar caregivers, and fostering a stable relationship with the child, while providing each child with a sense of recognition. The "nidulus" daycare center places particular emphasis on the individual development of children, supported by adapted room design and sensitized observations by our pedagogical professionals.

Nature plays a significant role at the "nidulus" daycare center. Protected on the grounds of the Helios Clinics, the facility is located in the heart of the forest. The outdoor area offers plenty to explore – whether running up the large grassy hill or crawling through the tunnel that leads through it. Numerous play equipment attract the little ones, and digging in the sandbox is a popular activity. Now and then, a bug crosses the path of the nursery children – small stimuli and playing with sticks, stones, and leaves awaken natural curiosity and creativity. A classic ride on the Bobby Car is also on the agenda!

Another feature of the "nidulus" daycare center is its 24-hour opening hours. Parents who cannot use regular daycare due to their working hours or professional commitments will find flexible care with us. The children can grow in a familiar environment and develop at their own pace. The "nidulus" daycare center is thus a unique place that meets the needs of both parents and children. By combining Pikler pedagogy, flexible childcare services, closeness to nature, and health promotion, it offers an ideal educational environment for the holistic development of children.
