Our in-house kindergarten
As a family-owned company, our commitment to harmony between work and family life is more than just lip service. Our kindergarten shows our dedication to this concept.
In order to secure the future of our company, we invest a lot in our staff. We know how important good, safe childcare is to working mothers and fathers, and the wellbeing of our staff and their families is a topic close to our hearts. Morgentau, our in-house kindergarten, helps you to keep track of both your career and your family.
Completed in September 2015, the 1300 m² facility offers a second home to up to 100 preschool children. Of course, the kindergarten is also located close to our premises in Bruchsal – just a stone's throw from the office door for many of our staff.
There are 30 crèche spaces available for the tiniest newcomers (nine weeks to three years old), and a further 88 for two-and-a-half to six-year-olds. Apart from between Christmas and New Year, the doors at Morgentau are open all year round, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. This means that your children will also have somewhere to go during vacation. Our opening times make us a pioneer in terms of corporate childcare in the Bruchsal area – closed for just ten days (24.12. to 06.01.) a year, we offer an unprecedented level of availability and convenience.
Learning through play
In the Morgentau kindergarten, our employees' little ones will spend their early days in a playful environment that will help them learn with the best care around. Under the watchful eye of Kindergarten manager Annegret Zerban-Stihler and her team of highly trained carers, kids from nine weeks old to school age can build, create, play music and experiment at our innovative "learning islands." We even have a special room to introduce them to the world of water, with different pools where they can discover for themselves how this fascinating element works. All around the learning islands are group rooms, nap rooms, washrooms and meeting rooms.

How does teaching at Morgentau work?
We treat every child as an individual and unique person, regardless of ethnicity, nationality, religion or denomination, showing them kindness and ensuring that they feel valued. We encourage their strengths and help them to develop their personalities in all fields of learning.
We help your children prepare for life as a true individual in a wider society, showing them that togetherness, communication, cooperation, conflict management, dialog and relationships are what really matter. We also introduce them to the concept of taking on responsibility – for themselves as well as for others, the community and the environment.
The pedagogic specialists of Netzwerk Mensch act as confidantes and the first point of contact for parents and children alike.
