It is important to us that children, parents, educators, interns, and all other individuals in our Nature Kindergarten feel comfortable. We believe that only those who feel secure themselves can provide security, and only those who are convinced of the significance of their own activities can promote children effectively.
We offer regular training and development opportunities to our staff, educate them in a salutogenic approach, and always have an open ear for suggestions and wishes. We strive for quality in relationship building throughout the entire team and face this challenge daily.

Since the beginning of 2021, I have been joyfully working at NaturKita, finding the experience of working with children in nature to be incredibly enriching. I hold a Master's degree in Education from CAU and gained diverse experiences in social work during my studies.

Working outdoors provides me with countless opportunities to implement creative ideas and foster children's creativity. I have completed additional training as a specialist in sustainability and environmental education to optimally support our future charges on their educational journey.

Recognizing the importance of movement in a fulfilling life, I offer various movement activities in our "Hasenwerkstatt" (Hare Workshop) to support the physical development of the children. Children are full of energy and curiosity, making it a delight to engage with them.

I have successfully completed training as an educator and Waldorf educator, gaining extensive experience in early childhood education, childcare, and therapeutic education. I particularly enjoy engaging in creative and craft activities, generating many ideas that I implement in our daily routines and in our 'Beaver Workshop.'

Nature, the environment, and animals have always held great significance in my work with children. Currently, I am undergoing therapy dog training with my dog, envisioning incorporating her into both my professional and volunteer activities in the future.

I have been part of this institution and its development since 2018. My work in the kindergarten started out as a part-time job while I was studying electrical engineering and information technology. But over time, the children and working with them captured my heart, and after graduating, it wasn't difficult for me to decide to work at NaturKita Kiel completely.
I am now in my year of recognition, have completed a 6-month training programme to become a quality officer and am in the middle of a 2-year training course to become a holistic nature educator. My activities in the daycare centre are varied and range from pedagogical work with your children, administrative tasks and quality management to concept development.
I look forward to getting to know you and your children during my practical phase.

After completing my nursing training and obtaining a degree in educational science with a focus on health education and adult education, I worked as a consultant at the Diakonie SH State Association for several years. During my time there and later at BBForum, I gained extensive experience in advising and coaching large facilities in SGB XI and XII on quality management, occupational health promotion, and personnel management.

These professional experiences have provided me with valuable knowledge for managing and leading an institution. Today, I bring my joy and expertise to collaborate with our NaturKita team to further develop our facility in line with the requirements of the new Kita law.

Creating or shaping a place where the children entrusted to us, parents, and staff can develop healthily, autonomously, and responsibly gives me great satisfaction. This is a task that fulfills me deeply.
