The people behind cocon.
Our team on site.
Our employees
Our teams consist of educational specialists and supplementary staff, such as highly-qualified
- teachers as well as
- educators in the fields of social education and childhood education and
- teaching assistants.
As the support of young people is important to us, we are also assisted by
- apprentice childcare employees (m/f/d) as well as
- students on a dual program
In addition, each of our houses has its own fresh cuisine with a chef, a kitchen team and a housekeeper
The respective head teachers are at your disposal at all times as contact persons for you as parents. In contrast to other institutions, this management body does not work directly with the groups in order to ensure that they have time for their responsibilities. Our head teachers are experienced educators with a high level of professional expertise, who shape our cocon day nurseries with their openness and warmth. Attributes which of course also apply to all other team members at our facilities. Each and every one is an enrichment, each and every one contributes to the unique atmosphere at cocon, in which your children can feel so comfortable.
Both houses are led by the two owners and managers themselves. Veronika Pagacz and Kristina Harzenetter are always on site as contact persons for all of the team’s needs.
Our history, our incentive, our concept.
Veronika Pagacz and Kristina Harzenetter are the persons in the background at cocon childcare center in Munich Bogenhausen and Waldtrudering. As mothers themselves with an academic education, they know about the balancing act and the major challenges of staying in work with children.
And also about the questions, which especially working parents ask themselves:
- What makes a happy childhood?
- How do you prepare children today emotionally, intellectually and socially for the demands of the future?
- What’s too much? What can’t go amiss?
- What about a healthy and balanced diet?
- How many children should an individual teacher take care of?
Veronika Pagacz and Kristina Harzenetter also dealt with all these questions and more. Not satisfied with the childcare offered at the time, they decided to act and set up a day care center themselves. Today, cocon’s exceptional childcare concept provides an answer to all the questions you ask as parents about the care of your children.
And it is just that which motivates us every day: To really meet the needs of parents and children.
Veronika Pagacz and Kristina Harzenetter agree: The best basis for your child is a lived educational partnership between you and the childcare institution. This is where trust comes into play. A trust that we at cocon build through consistently transparent communication.

I can highly recommend all parents who are looking for a second home for their children to have their child cared for at Cocon."

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."

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..”
