New quality manual for daycare centers: This makes early childhood education better!

In the district of Oberspreewald-Lausitz, there is reason to celebrate: The "Quality Manual for Day Care Centers" has now been officially handed over to the practice after extensive revision. According to OSL Online , the handover to the daycare lines and specialists took place at the beginning of June. In this comprehensive work, which was created together with the Institute for the Situation Approach (ISTA), numerous valuable information is gathered on 156 pages that are intended to facilitate everyday pedagogical life in daycare centers.

But what exactly is behind this quality manual? It serves as a practical compass for the various areas of responsibility in daycare centers, such as autonomy experiences, working with families and team culture. The systematic inclusion of the children's perspectives is particularly innovative, based on surveys that were carried out in several institutions. A real highlight on the way to improved early childhood education!

in practical use

Around 80 specialists and leaders have taken part in the training courses, which focused on the practical application of the manual on June 2 and 3. Sabine Beyersdorff from ISTA, who was actively involved in the creation process, also led these events. Your knowledge and experience make the manual not only an important theoretical instrument, but also a practical guide for daily work in daycare centers.

The check and evaluation of the manual will continue until the end of 2025 so that sufficient feedback can be collected to further improve practical suitability. The revision was based on the updated Brandenburg educational plan, which was used in the development and structuring of the manual. This shows that you do not act just from the rifle, but systematically and carefully act in order to increase the quality of early childhood education.

Overview of educational plans

What many do not know: The creation of such manuals is part of a larger initiative to improve educational quality in the elementary area. Since 2004, the federal states have published various educational plans that include recommendations for the implementation of legal requirements. According to the information on bpb.de , important topics such as democratic participation, integration, support for children with development risks and cooperation with parents are addressed.

The educational plans ensure that all age groups are taken into account from small children to older children and consider children as competent individuals who actively explore their environment. Here the holistic support plays an important role in developing and promoting cognitive, social, personal and body -related skills.

Overall, the "Quality Manual for Children's Day Care" represents an important step on the way to high -quality early childhood education. It invites specialists to reflect and further develop their pedagogical approaches and promise to sustainably improve the framework conditions for the care and formation of our little ones.

The manual is also available online for everyone interested and can be downloaded. This not only facilitates access to current information, but also supports the implementation of educational concepts in the daycare centers. A complete success that hopefully will be imitated in other regions!
