Pedagogical Approach

Needs-Oriented Pedagogy - A Decision Against Violent Pedagogy

“Every behavior has its meaning and is an attempt to fulfill a need.”

Children want to be listened to and taken seriously. They want to laugh and cry, romp and argue, and learn playfully in a child-friendly atmosphere that inspires them. Based on the principles of Needs-Oriented Pedagogy, "Edgar Berlin" aims to accompany children with mindfulness and without judgment.

Children should be able to grow up in a friendly environment and look optimistically toward their future. The "Edgar Berlin" daycare center contributes to the development of children based on needs-oriented pedagogy by promoting their growth step by step through integrated educational and care offerings.

Our pedagogical goals are self-determination, solidarity, and competence. We see the independence of children as a key objective of our educational efforts. In the process of pedagogical work, this means enabling children to actively engage in their learning processes. The children participatively shape their situation in the daycare center.
