New kindergarten in Krumpendorf: a ray of hope for our children!

In Krumpendorf, work is heavily worked! After the groundbreaking ceremony for the new kindergarten was set in March 2024, the construction project is now heading for the home stretch. The anticipation in the community is great, because the new kindergarten will come up with an inner area of around 1,300 square meters and a spacious garden of 2,100 square meters. This investment in the future calls for a total volume of around 5.5 million euros, as meinzirk.at reports.

The urgency for such a project was more than clear due to lack of space and an outdated infrastructure at the previous location. Therefore, the decision was made to build the new facility in the immediate vicinity of elementary school in order to ensure optimal integration into the educational landscape. Mayor Gernot Bürger emphasizes that the new building is not only modern and sustainable, but will also be tailored to the needs of children and educators.

a place of encounter for the smallest

The construction phase of the kindergarten is scheduled for about 1.5 years, so that the inauguration for the summer of 2024 is planned. From September 2024, four kindergarten groups and a crawling room can move to the new building. At the official opening, an open day will take place on September 27, 2025, to which everyone interested is cordially invited. The wish is clear: the excellent quality of childcare should be improved by the new concept and the development of the community should also be promoted.

But what exactly makes the new kindergarten so special? A central aspect is pedagogy that relies on education for sustainable development (BNE). Children should learn to take responsibility whose actions have an impact on others and playfully deal with initial cooperation. This is not just a contribution to early childhood education, such as the Ginn-Portal, but also strengthens social skills and self-organization of children.

linking education and sustainability

In recent years, the financing of such projects has also changed significantly through new special councils for elementary educational institutions and grants at the federal and state level. These developments support the renovation and redesign of early childhood education and thus contribute to improving the framework. In view of the fact that the construction costs have almost doubled in recent years, ensuring this financing is particularly important.
