The element-i Knax-Garten childcare centre was opened in March 2013 as a company daycare centre and is centrally located on Arsenalplatz in the Kreissparkasse Ludwigsburg building complex.
The rooms are friendly, spacious and bright and are adapted to the needs of the children. They have the opportunity to experiment, explore, discover and move around, but also have places to retreat to relax and rest. In the outdoor area directly adjacent to the house, the children can move around in nature and actively experience the seasons, for example. In this way, children actively fulfil their natural urge to discover and explore and perceive themselves as part of their environment.
The easily accessible urban infrastructure is used and integrated into the day-to-day life of the children’s home in order to discover the ‘urban nature’, e.g. the Bärenwiese meadow or the Favoritepark, which is home to many animals. The children also visit municipal museums and the seasonal festivals on the market square.
