Mission
Every child is a pearl in God's hand. Beloved, unique and valuable. From this basis, children at Junia discover their talents and how they are valuable to their environment.
With the Bible as a source of inspiration and Christian values as a starting point for day care, toddler groups and after-school care, the children grow up to be social and responsible young adults who look after their fellow human beings and sustainably care for the earth. In this way, they contribute positively to the society of today and the future.
Developing through play with loving support from pedagogical staff and space for the unique characteristics of each child. With this, the childcare of Junia strives for equal opportunities with the aim of a strong foundation for the future of each child.
Vision
Children are naturally curious, have a Open look and are always up for new discoveries. At Junia they get a wealth of enjoyable experiences and challenging opportunities every day to develop through play. Because at Junia development starts with play in a familiar and stimulating environment.
In different periods of their young lives, children are more sensitive to developing specific skills. Activities that are appropriate for their age and developmental stage stimulate children to take steps in their development in a playful way. This can be done in different areas, such as knowledge, dealing with others, language and movement. In this way, Junia fits in with the rhythm and pace of each child in a pleasant way.
Children make new friends with whom they play and grow up. A pleasant social environment where children feel at home and familiar is important. Because they learn a lot from each other and from the adults in their environment. Our pedagogical staff lovingly monitor and support children in their development and like to involve parents in the grow of their child. They communicate on an equal level with parent and child. In addition, the staff set a good example. In this way, they teach the Christian values to the children, such as charity, equality, honesty and forgiving each other.
Believe in who you may be and treat each other with respect and love. With the Bible as a source of inspiration, we discover together how we can use our talents to mean something to others and the world around us. This stimulates self-confidence and social development.
A continuous learning path is important for the development of children. That is why Junia likes to work together with primary schools so that all children have a chance of a good start in society.
Our core values
Open
Open
We are curious about the world around us. There is much to learn and discover. From creation and from the people in our living environment. Everyone is welcome at Junia. We start from what we have in common and interact with each other with an open mind. Playing together and growing up together in a social environment is important to us.
We are open to a pleasant collaboration with parents, schools and other social organisations. We look after others, are hospitable and also teach the children to look at others openly and involved. From a Christian perspective, we follow the latest social developments and give them a suitable interpretation.
Believe
Believe
Christian values and the Bible with the message of hope, love and connection provide a valuable start to develop into a person who makes a positive contribution to society. With an eye for fellow human beings and nature. That is why Junia sees this as a nice addition to the development of a child.
Belief in God and values from the Bible
Children are given every opportunity to develop together through play. Through stories and themes from the Bible, they are taught valuable principles, such as charity and care for creation. And they learn more about God and the Christian faith. We sing, pray and experience the Christian holidays together.
Believe in who you are allowed to be
It is valuable for a child to learn to believe in yourself and to know that you are a beloved pearl in God's hand. This stimulates self-confidence and ensures that a child, with their own talents, skills, creativity and personality, can be of significance to others and confidently enters the future.
Believe in the other
Just like you, others are also valuable. It is important to respect each other, to listen to each other and to help each other. At Junia, children learn to appreciate each other's differences and how to deal with them lovingly. By playing together and working together, children learn a lot from each other.
Grow
Grow
What are my talents? How can I use them? Who am I in the group and in society? Growing up is discovering who you are and who you are allowed to be. The Bible is a valuable source of inspiration. At Junia we take children, at their level and pace, along in their personal development.
In addition to their own talents, there is an eye for qualities that are useful in society. Such as flexibility, creativity, goal-oriented work and perseverance. We stimulate the qualities of each child and offer individual support when necessary. Because each child is unique and valuable.
