The EKO daycare centers introduce themselves

The municipal daycare centers are operated by the EKO. The abbreviation EKO stands for"Eigenbetrieb Kindertagesstätten Offenbach". However, it also stands for "Developmental diversityfor childrenin Offenbach". All EKO daycare centers work according to the pedagogical principles of the Eigenbetrieb with a focus on age-appropriate development and education for independence.

The allocation of places in municipal crèches, daycare centers or after-school care centers is carried out centrally by the EKO. Applications for registration are available from the EKO administration or on the Internet. There is an exception for all-day classes (GTK). Here, the EKO administration decides in cooperation with the elementary school whether admission is possible.

Guiding premises:

• Offenbach children are children of the whole world
• Diversity enriches and offers opportunities
• The child is at the center of all activities
• Their needs structure the daily routine and activities

Basic conviction:
