The original team of eight has already been increased to a total of 17 educators, who are currently spread across three locations until they move into the new children's home.
We are truly overwhelmed by how Herrsching is standing together in this exceptional situation.

“Open day” with the team of future carers in the children's home at Fendlbach.
The opening date there has not yet been set following the water damage.
Herrsching
– The team from the new children's house at Fendlbach actually wanted to present themselves in the new premises at an open day.
Then there was major water damage in December (we reported).
The moving date had to be postponed and has not yet been set.
The team now introduces itself anyway.
There will be opportunities to get to know each other on Saturday, March 2nd, between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. in the crèche at Keramikstrasse 5 (rear entrance, rooms of the former Fünfseenland playgroup) and between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. in the Villa Kunterbunt at Rieder Strasse 27. " We would like to present our forest education and toy-free time and would also like to provide information about organizational processes, booking times and prices," said the two full-time board members of the parents' initiative "Kinderhaus Kunterbunt Herrsching eV", Michaela Becker and Helen Gunkel.
The parents' council is also on site.
Over the past year, the team and parents have put a lot of effort into developing educational concepts and protection concepts, hiring employees, writing budget plans, and examining and reorganizing parental involvement as the core of the parent initiative.
In addition to the general meeting, the new statutes provide for a volunteer supervisory board and two full-time board members.
On January 31st, Michaela Becker (educational management) and Helen Gunkel (economic management) were appointed as equal directors.
Parental participation was designed so that every family takes part in the life of the children's home in a working group.
“Even though we continue to grow and strive to build up and expand our children’s home business professionally, the active participation and co-determination of parents remains an essential pillar of the association,” assures Helen Gunkel.
The starting signal for the new “Kinderhaus am Fendlbach” should have been given on February 1st.
Due to the water damage in the new house, temporary solutions had to be sought.
Since then, 92 children have been looked after by a team of 17 in the crèche and kindergarten at three locations.
The rental agreement at Villa Kunterbunt was extended so that two kindergarten groups (up to 42 children) and a rolling forest group (15 children) can still be accommodated.
In the House of Bavarian Agriculture, around 20 additional kindergarten children are looked after as a preschool group in a redesigned seminar room and the crèche children in the premises of the former Fünfseenland children's group at Keramikstrasse 5.
The playing group's club was dissolved on January 31st.
Since then, children and families have been united as a crèche group under the roof of the Kunterbunt children's home.
Due to the size of the premises, an operating license was granted for only twelve childcare places, divided into 21 families.
“We are really overwhelmed by how Herrsching is standing together in this exceptional situation,” says Helen Gunkel happily.
Since then, the new children have been settling in in all groups.
The entire Kunterbunt team and also the children discover the new premises and grow together as new groups.
It is not yet known when exactly the move to the new children's home on Fendlbach will take place.
“We will make the best of it,” say Michaela Becker and Helen Gunkel.
The allocation of places for the kindergarten year 2024/25 is now underway.
The children's home will open an after-school care center in September 2024.
Interested families are invited to the open day and can pre-register for crèche, kindergarten and after-school care by March 4th at portal.little-bird.de/Herrsching/Kindergarten-Kunterbunt.
