As part of a campaign to make the kindergarten more beautiful, the parents of all children take part in cleaning up the grounds. This year a total of 198 children are enrolled in the kindergarten in seven different groups. At the beginning of the new school year a meeting of all parents takes place in each group. The teachers introduce themselves and talk about the upcoming activities. They inform the parents about the daily schedule and give valuable tips and hints to ensure that the children integrate into the groups easily. After the meeting parents and teachers work together for an hour preparing the grounds of the kindergarten. There is plenty to do: Over the summer, the grass on the playground shot up. Parents remove wild weed, collect forgotten garbage, and do the gardening. They bring all the tools they need with them. In this way parents help to maintain the area. They take responsibility and ensure that their children can safely learn and play every day. These campaigns are scheduled twice a year from now on.
