Kinderzentrum Esslingen

Current programme of the children's centre

Agapedia Children's Centre Esslingen

In the afternoons, up to 50 children aged between six and twelve at the Agapedia children's centre in Esslingen learn how they can spend their free time in a meaningful way.
Children's circus, creative-artistic design, sport, play and relationship work create the basis for teaching children important skills such as self-confidence, willingness to cooperate and decision-making skills. In the mixture of informal and non-formal educational activities, such as dance, theatre, cooking, art and music, the children learn to recognise and realise their potential.

History of Ailin

Ailin first came to the children's centre when she was 10 years old. She was very shy and withdrawn at first. Over time, she began to feel at home at the children's centre. She opened up more and more and through her active participation in the children's circus, especially unicycling, she became more and more self-confident. She now participates enthusiastically in the daily activities and is happy to show off her skills in performances. This has also improved her performance at school, as her class teacher happily informed us.
In addition to the open work, there are various school collaborations, i.e. school classes come to the children's centre at certain times to take part in circus projects, for example. There are also holiday programmes, festivals and special events on various topics.
