We, the “Am Karpfenteich” daycare center, have been (independently sponsored) since 2002, as the name suggests, at the Karpfenteich in Treptower Park 70. 

Between the carp pond and the Soviet memorial there is a small detached house with over 100 m² of educational space in the middle of the Treptower Park, a protected garden monument with its 84 hectares, on a fenced area of over 3000 m².

We use the fenced area as a natural and kitchen garden. Adjacent to the Plänterwald, which today has an area of about 72 hectares, where up to 270-year-old beech and oak trees can be found. Both areas are bordered on one side by the Spree. This puts us in the unique position of being able to bring nature closer to children in the city. Because with public transport you can be in the center of Berlin in about 15 minutes.

In the day-care center, 24 children from the age of 1 year until they start school are accompanied by appropriate specialist staff. The opening hours are Mo.-Fr. from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., due to the weekly team meeting, the facility closes at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays.

Zusätzlich zu den vom Land Berlin erhobenen Gebühren nehmen wir derzeit einen Pauschalbetrag von 60€ pro Kind und Monat. Dieser beinhaltet unter Anderem die Kosten für besondere pädagogische Angebote, wie z.B. unser Bienenprojekt und die Bewirtschaftung des Gartens. Ferner gibt es statt Brotdosen von zu Hause das gemeinsame Frühstück und Vesper, welches ebenfalls in der Pauschale inkludiert ist.

Derzeit bieten wir ein vegetarisch vollwertiges Mittagessen in Bioqualität an

An annual plan regulates our daycare year from 01.08. until 31.07. one year.
