Overview

Joki Lerchenau is situated in a beautiful new building which was built according to our specifications. Our spacious group and sleeping rooms on the ground floor have direct access tot he garden. The bright multi-purpose room in the basement is an inviting space for dancing and movement games. Here we also offer special activities for the children to take part in.

Our garden and outdoor area can be found around the back of the building and has been set up according to current research findings in childhood games. The different sections of our outdoor area garden are outfitted with different playground equipment and sandpits.

The day care centre is easily reachable just north of Schwabing.

Bilingual care from the beginning: Alongside our German speaking educators, each group will usually have an English native speaker who introduces the children to their language and culture playfully through conversation and games. Using the immersion method, our native speakers converse with the children solely in their native language. The aim is not to teach the children the language in a school-like way, but rather that they come into contact with the foreign language naturally, for example by singing songs and playing games.

Our chef has received intensive training on the special nutritional needs of young children. All meals are prepared freshly each day to ensure they are appropriate for the age of the children. Therefore, it is not necessary to bring any snacks to the day care centre. The menu can also be adjusted for children with allergies.

It goes without saying that the nursery children at Lerchenau have priority in receiving a kindergarten place here, so that the children experience the whole of their early years education in the same day care centre and with the same values. This also allows friendships with other children, parents and educators to develop.

Please register for a place in our nursery or kindergarten here.

We are looking forward to welcoming your child and you at Joki Lerchenau!

Bilingual groups

Joki has a very good staff to child ratio. In each group 3-4 educators look after the children in the nursery and the kindergarten.

Alongside our German speaking educators, each group will usually have an English native speaker who introduces the children to their language and culture playfully through conversation and games. Using the immersion method, our native speakers converse with the children solely in their native language. The aim is not to teach the children the language in a school-like way, but rather that they come into contact with the foreign language naturally, for example by singing songs and playing games.

This promotes intercultural competence in the children, which prepares them for a globalised world. Additionally, their minds will be trained according to well-founded scientific findings without any pressure of a particularly intensive form. A high mental flexibility results all the more, the earlier and more consistently the child finds itself in a multilingual environment. You can find further information at www.fmks-online.de.

Parents quotes

Quotations from the Parents’ Questionnaire 2020

After a long search I finally found, in Joki, a suitable kindergarten for my son and for me. The loving care of the children by the staff particularly impressed me. The good staff to child ratio and the many different languages were a bonus. The opening times fit perfectly with today`s working conditions.”

Joki has a nice interior design, a garden and freshly prepared meals every day. Every day there is a super, inspiring programme for the children. The children are helped and challenged and the parents are supported in their work life by good childcare.”

Every day my wife and I are pleased how happily our son Neo goes to crèche. This is certainly due to your committed staff and the pleasant surroundings which you have provided for the little ones. Also the children, as we could see at the summer fete, come from interesting families which is a benefit not only for the “little ones” but for the “big ones” too. Finally I would like to highlight your concept of raising the little ones to be independent early in their lives. Our Neo can, at 14 months, already carefully handle glass and china, and eats almost without any help. Particularly in our case, where both parents work full-time, this is an enormous help!”

We are, for one, very happy that we were able to place both our daughters (crèche and kindergarten) in one nursery, which is logically, for working parents, an unusual advantage. Also we are very lucky that they both settled in at Joki quickly and feel at home and can hardly wait to return to their crèche and kindergarten after the holidays. We have been especially convinced by the warmth, a friendly ear and the commitment of the staff which certainly helped us to clear some hurdles occurring at the beginning of a new nursery.”

In addition to this, I would like to positively emphasize things that are not a matter of course everywhere and that we have already experienced differently: enough substitute staff, nursery managers that are not calculated in the staff to child ratio, as well as staff that are responsible for the coordination of a new opening and for the education concept. The opening times, the staff to child ratio, the house-own cook and a convincing concept (without strange offers such as Chinese or Yoga) have done just that.”

Our daughter started in the crèche at Joki at 11 months old. From the beginning she felt at home and comfortable in the group and with the carers. So much so that she jumps out of our arms and races to the door as soon as we get near to the group room!”

My husband and I are also very pleased with the general conditions: the varied meals – our daughter is learning about other foods apart from those which we offer her at home. The generous opening times which allow us both to attend to our jobs and especially the warm and qualified teaching team that lets us hand over our little mouse with a clear conscience.”
