Educational quality support (PQB) and the new settling-in concept

Educational quality support (PQB) is offered to daycare centers by the State Ministry. We heard about it at the provider and management conference at the district office and became curious. After an informal meeting, we decided to make use of PQB at our center.

The nursery team had been thinking about revising the settling-in concept for quite some time. Times have changed, and so has pedagogy. Settling in is a very important part of the whole nursery period. It lays the foundation. Together with our PQB consultant, we set off on exactly this topic – for a year and a half in total. This autumn we will have our last team day and reflect once more.

We used several team meetings and team days to develop our new settling-in concept, which has now been completed and already submitted to the district office.

This autumn, settling in at our center will take place according to our new concept for the first time. It is closely based on the „participatory settling-in model“ and responds very individually to the children and families. A personal bond and relationship with each other are the foundation for success.

We are looking forward to the many settling-in periods and will reflect on them extensively afterwards in order to use our experience for next year.
