Villa Unibunt has 10.79 approved professional positions, which are divided into full-time and part-time positions. As a rule, 3 professionals are responsible for each group. In addition, interns who are in training to become educators work in various groups.

Furthermore, school interns are in the house throughout the year. We see the guidance and support of these interns as a welcome enrichment of our daily educational routine, as well as an important core task in order to optimally train future professionals during their training.
To keep the day care centre running, we need our 3 housekeepers for the kitchen and cleaning and our caretaker.

The responsible body for the facility is the Studierendenwerk Vorderpfalz, represented by Mr Marcel Schmitt.
The sponsor is responsible for the operational management of the facility. It provides rooms and financial resources and is the employer of the childcare centre staff. It is also responsible for the economic and legal supervision of the childcare facility.

Ms Elke Manger, state-certified educator and education and social manager specialising in early childhood (B.A.).

Our facility is open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 16:30.

Closing times:
During the summer semester break, our facility has a holiday occupancy period of six weeks. For the families, this means that the children are allowed to take a daycare break at home for at least one week within the given time frame. Irrespective of this, the Villa Unibunt day care centre has a total of 15 closing days, for example during the Christmas and Easter holidays.
All other closing days and dates are determined each year; please refer to our calendar at the day care centre.

In order for our educational offers to start on time, the children should be at the facility by 9:30 a.m. at the latest.
Please note the difference between pick-up time (10 minutes before the end; 15:50) and care time (16:00). Please make sure that you pick up your children during pick-up time so that they can leave the day care centre on time at the end of the care time.

In order to make it easier for the children to find their way actively into the group and play activities, as well as to participate in weekly activities (for example, excursion to the fort, music workshop, etc.), we have a core time from 9:30 to 14:00. During this time, all children should be in the house.

Please note the following when dropping off and picking up your children:

• When dropping off and picking up, make sure that no child runs out. Wait until the entrance door has closed!
• The pedagogical staff's duty of supervision does not begin until you have dropped off your child. It is important that we actively witness the arrival of the child.
• The educators' duty of supervision ends as soon as your child and we have noticed you at pick-up.
• Please do not let the children use the door opener on their own.

When your child enters the nursery, the settling-in period begins. This is based on the Berlin familiarisation model. The model is divided into 3 phases and is based on the needs of the child. The aim of our familiarisation is to build up a secure "attachment relationship". The length of time required depends, among other things, on the individuality of your child, the pattern of their attachment relationship and their previous experiences with separation situations.

Phase 1 of settling in is the basic phase.
In this phase, your child stays in the group with the parent or another caregiver for about 1 hour. You, as the caregiver, remain in the group room for the entire time and take on a more passive role. You should give the child a feeling of security. The focus of this phase is on the play situation. Your child should familiarise itself in/with the new environment and freely determine its play and development activities. The educator seeks contact with the child. In the following days, the educator continues her efforts to gently approach your child. The goal for the child should be to achieve a certain stabilisation through the repetition of situations; among other things, of your child's individuality, the pattern of his or her attachment relationship and his or her previous experiences with separation situations.

Phase 2 of settling in is the stabilisation phase.
During this time, your child makes his or her first experiences with temporary separation from you. You leave the group room for a short time after you have told the child. You should not leave the facility during this phase.
The aim of the stabilisation phase is to gradually increase the absence of the parents, up to a half-day stay of the child in the facility. This phase is completed as soon as your child has managed a separation period of 1.5 hours without any problems.

Phase 3 of settling in is the final phase.
In the final phase, you accompany your child to the group and say goodbye. You no longer need to be in the centre, but you should be available at all times.
Your child's familiarisation is considered complete when he or she accepts the educator as a "safe base" and allows him or her to comfort him or her. Now the child can participate in the daily routine of the day care centre.

Based on our assumption that "parents are experts and the most important caregivers for your children" and "educators are the experts of the pedagogical work", it is unthinkable to renounce common ways. The achievements and resources of parents are elementary basic values and foundations that must be recognised and integrated if one wants to grasp a child in its entirety. We regard the cooperation between the pedagogical staff and parents as an appreciative attitude based on mutual respect.

Our goals for a successful educational partnership are:

• Transparency of the pedagogical work: disclosure of the pedagogical approach to the child on both sides.
• Agreements regarding educational goals, educational behaviour, support for parents.
• Exchange in the form of door-to-door talks, development talks (once a year), parents' evenings, parents' information in the form of letters and notices, joint excursions, festivities, etc.

Cooperation with the parents is also indispensable for the success of our festivals, celebrations and events. You contribute significantly to the success of all events. Tasks include setting up and taking down tables and chairs at parties, donating and selling cakes, creatively designing backdrops and decorations, and much more. If you would like to participate in the daily educational routine and actively offer activities for the children, please contact the teachers in your child's group. We are also happy to have you accompany us on theatre visits or other excursions.

Unsere Ziele für eine gelungene Erziehungspartnerschaft sind:

• Transparenz der pädagogischen Arbeit: Beidseitiges Offenlegen des päda-gogischen Umgangs mit dem Kind.
• Absprachen hinsichtlich der Erziehungsziele, des Erziehungsverhaltens, Unterstützung der Eltern.
• Austausch in Form von Tür- und Angelgesprächen, Entwicklungsgesprä-chen (1x Jährlich), Elternabenden, Elterninformationen in Form von Briefen und Aushängen, gemeinsamen Ausflügen, Festen, usw.

Auch für das Gelingen unserer Feste, Feiern und Veranstaltungen ist die Zusammenarbeit mit den Eltern unabdingbar. Du trägst maßgeblich zum Gelingen sämtlicher Veranstaltungen bei. Aufgaben sind z.B. Auf- und Abbau von Tischen und Stühlen bei Festen, Spenden und Verkauf von Kuchen, Kreatives Gestalten von Kulissen und Dekoration, und vieles mehr. Wenn du gerne am pädagogischen Alltag teilhaben und aktiv Angebote für die Kinder anbieten möchtest, kannst du gerne die jeweiligen Erzieher:innen in der Gruppe deines Kindes ansprechen. Wir freuen uns auch über Begleitung bei Theaterbesuchen oder anderen Ausflügen.
