Who is Käpt´n Browser?

The Käpt´n Browser gGmbH was specially founded in September 2005 for running child day-care centers.

Profile

The child day-care centers of the Käpt´n Browser gGmbH are a place where children can experience, discover and sample the world in a playful and exemplary way. By "education", we understand an extensively, actively and subjectively coined acquirement process of the child which enables it to develop, learn, act and create relationships. We work in the conviction that qualified learning opportunities increase equal chances for the children in our child day-care centers. This goes to show once again that attending a good child day-care center far into schooldays can have a beneficial effect on the school performance and social behavior.
Every child has strengths and weaknesses and therefore, needs individual support for its optimal development. We welcome every child to our facilities. For children with particular needs, we submit specific offers in integrative groups. We understand the social and cultural variety in the living together as an opportunity to teach children appreciation and tolerance.
We carefully introduce the children to the world of media and natural-scientific phenomena, address their zest for discovery and work with them together on their first experiences in their living environment in a responsible and age-appropriate way. At the beginning, we mainly use pictures, books and audio cassettes. Only gradually do we prepare the children for the independent and considerate use of the computer and other media (photography, film). In our facilities, the children work on their own media in which they can express their dreams, wishes and hopes. Furthermore, we offer multi-topical working and we consider the combination of cognitive actions with applied arts and sporting activities to be important.
