District of LÜNEBURG. Anyone who has their child looked after in a daycare center wishes the very best for their offspring. This applies not only to the atmosphere, friendships and security, but also to good pedagogical concepts and trained specialists. In order to deal more closely with these and other important points as a specialist, more than 60 institutions in the Lüneburg district take part in a professionally supported quality management system. The aim of this is to further develop the educational work in kindergartens, crèches and after-school care centers and thus to continuously improve them. “The Lüneburg district has been supporting such an offer together with the municipalities for around nine years,” explains Marina Stjerneby, one of three specialist advisors for day-care centers in the district administration.
The areas of education are in the foreground in quality analysis and improvement. So it’s about questions like: How is the learning environment in the facility designed? Which materials are available to the children and when and how do the educational staff support the children’s development? In order to sensitize their teams to these topics, the institutions first train their own employees to become quality officers. More than 100 specialists from 62 day-care centers have registered for this, and the first courses started last month. With the knowledge from the seminars, the daycare teams can use internal evaluations to reflect and evaluate their educational work and the learning environment they have designed. Building on this, new goals are then formulated. This is later followed by an external evaluation by QUECC, a Berlin specialist institute for quality management in day-care centers. This records strengths and development potential for each facility in a report and also provides a general overview of the quality of day-care centers for the Lüneburg district.
“To put yourself to the test always requires courage, but it is very important for quality work,” says Marina Stjerneby. “With their commitment to improving educational work, the specialists at the day-care centers enable children to have a good education in good day-care centers right from the start.”
