Stadt Osnabrück

Kita Heiligenweg is a municipal childcare centre in Osnabrück, Germany, operated as part of the city’s early education and childcare services. Its approach is guided by the motto “Make use of freedom and learn through play. ” The centre follows an open-concept model while retaining core groups, balancing free play with structured activities.

Educators introduce learning experiences, offer guidance and encouragement, and give children room to explore and develop through their own experiences. Group and additional rooms are arranged to support play and learning, and are used across groups for both free play and daily activities. The centre aims to help children grow into independent, confident, sociable and empathetic individuals.

It serves children aged three to six across four groups, including two groups offering integrative care. Regular opening hours vary by group, with additional hours available when parents have a justified need. Located at Heiligenweg 40, the centre is led by Sabine Stade, with Alexander Hansen as deputy director.

It also provides information and support for families interested in registering
