A wave of colds in the day care centre: why children get sick so often

Sensible gift ideas for children at Christmas
There is hardly anything nicer than making little children’s hearts beat faster at Christmas with great presents. When the little hands impatiently open the packaging and the eyes start to light up, we are even happier than being given a present ourselves. Ideally, the children will really enjoy their gift for a long time.

Familiarisation in the crèche: procedure of the Berlin Model

I can highly recommend all parents who are looking for a second home for their children to have their child cared for at Cocon."
M. Augustin
What satisfied parents say:
"Our daughter and we parents are completely thrilled with the facility. Everything is just right here. Starting with the beautiful rooms with three large garden areas. The home-cooked organic quality food that the children love so much. The art, music, sports, etc. activities on offer. And last but not least, the warm and dedicated caregivers, who also playfully teach the children their native language, which in a very short time showed unbelievable success."
M. Schönauer
What satisfied parents say:
"We couldn't have done better. We knew at all times that our children were in the best of hands. In addition to the professionalism and above-average quality of the educators, house management, kitchen, services, etc., which is to be expected at this price, there is also so much love, recognition, attention and appreciation for each individual child in all educators / staff that it is actually a shame that it had to end at some point. It was a wonderful time, our boys and we loved it. Thank you for that!"

What satisfied parents say:
"Cocon promises a second home. In fact, it is more than that. Individual support and a lot of nest warmth, that's how we would sum it up after four years now. There are countless support programs and projects ranging from music and art to natural sciences and sports. Little researchers, gardeners and cooks are not neglected either. The educators are caring and very well trained, and there are regular in-depth development discussions. All this guarantees happy, self-confident and independent children at Cocon. As parents, we couldn't ask for better educational partners for our child."

What satisfied parents say:
"Wonderful facility that lovingly cared for our children from baby to preschool age and actually became a second home. Extensive offerings included in the price, e.g. music with music teacher, art/craft, research. Permanent language support by English and even French native speakers. Above average trained and caring staff. At the same time, high level of flexibility and support with administrative issues. Great Kita/Kiga that we miss very much."
Schwemer family
What satisfied parents say:
“Both our children were very happy here, as parents we appreciated the professionality and high standards in many areas - from the excellent food (which they still miss!), good hygiene and nice facilities, to the kind and supportive staff. The small exchanges with the teachers during handover, regular feedback and opportunities to discuss any concerns were so useful. As parents, we learned so many pedagogical approaches from the teachers, including tips on how to tackle the latest issue based on our child's personality. It felt like a collaborative, yet professional and kind relationship over the years..”
