| Popis: | 96 The study aims to understand the early childhood education system in Germany. This study is mainly based on literature analysis. Early childhood education and care policy in Germany has long tradition. Facilities catering for children were as an emergency solution to protect and care for children of working mothers in the first half of the 19th Century. Friedrich Fröbel (1782- 1852) invented a type of educational facility for early childhood by establishing the first kindergarten (1840). According to the Child and Youth Welfare Act of 1990 child care institutions have to encourage the child's development into an individually responsible and socially competent person. For children 0- 3 years, the Krippe is the norm. For children from 3 years until entrance into school, the Kindergarten is the main service. Hort is the third major service, catering for school- age children up to 12 years of age. Krippen, Kindergarten and Horte can be run as separate center but also as a mixed form for children of different age groups. Children in institutions of elementary education are looked after primarily by Erzieher/innen (kindergarten pedagogues) and Kinderpfleger/innen (children's nurses). The early years of childhood are receiving increased public policy attention. There is great openness to the need for change, including the quantitative and qualitative development. In future, the number of allday care- services need to be increased, and the number of places on offer for children before nursery age needs to be expanded. And the qualification of the staff should be enhanced. |
