Welcome to the nature and forest kindergarden at the Samainhof

The special thing about our nature and forest kindergarten

Our nature and forest kindergarten is an open-air kindergarten.
A group of up to 20 children goes with two educators every day into the forest and into the great outdoors.

Our kindergarten is mainly attended by German and American children, other languages are also represented, so the children are introduced to different languages in a playful way.

The Samainhof is the ideal place for the first nature and forest kindergarten in the Upper Palatinate, because: We are surrounded by forest, meadows and fields. Horses, donkeys, goats, cats, rabbits, chickens, cattle and a dog live on the farm. We have enough space to climb the fruit trees, to plant flowers and vegetables, to nurture and care for them. There are enough natural materials such as sand, clay, stones, wood, etc. to unfold and develop creativity. In case of heavy rain or freezing cold, there are also rooms directly at the Samainhof. We can stay in the Indian tipi, in the tree house, in the kindergarten house or in the kindergarten room with kitchen at the Samainhof or eat and paint under the covered terrace and listen to the drumming of the rain. Places for a warm campfire can be found.

In joint cooperation between the employees, parents and the Samainhof, new projects and premises are constantly being created, such as a composting toilet by the tree house, raised beds, a wooden toy wagon and a newly created vegetable garden.
