A safe space for early development

The focus here is on child-friendly promotion. The city’s family midwives accompany the group with an educational view, providing impulses for relationship promotion and supporting parents in better understanding their baby's needs. This creates a protected framework for young families with closeness, calm, and valuable suggestions for everyday life.

Play, singing, and movement with fun learning

Diverse play, singing, and movement activities bring children’s laughter into the room and promote motor and language development. Everything is designed age-appropriately and is aligned with the early years of life. This makes the crawling group a family experience that combines joy, orientation, and early social experiences.

Healthy breakfast and practical parent tips

A shared, healthy breakfast not only strengthens the children but also the sense of community. At the same time, parents receive suggestions for early bonding, promoting development, and topics related to nutrition and everyday life with a baby. Thus, the meeting becomes more than just a playgroup: it becomes a place for exchange, security, and trust.

Medical support as needed

Especially valuable for families: on the second Thursday of each month, a pediatrician from the health department is on-site to examine the children at the parents' request. At regular intervals, a dentist also provides helpful tips on early childhood dental care. This underscores the preventive and family-friendly nature of the offer.

Conclusion: A loving meeting place for young families
