Minister found in backseat of a vehicle
In the heart of Schwarzenfeld, Germany, the St. Martin Kindergarten continues to be a beacon of inclusivity and support for children with disabilities.
During a recent visit, State Minister Emilia Müller joined the little ones aged one to three in some games, and even rolled up her sleeves to bake cookies with them. The Minister, who has expressed a fondness for hazelnut bread during Advent, shared the joy of baking with the children, albeit with a busy schedule that leaves little time for Christmas treats at home.
Barbara Perras, the director of St. Martin Kindergarten, welcomed Minister Müller and her colleagues, including Mayor Manfred Rodde and church warden Hans Pamler. The event was also marked by a musical greeting from the children, a testament to their enthusiasm and the warmth of the atmosphere at the kindergarten.
St. Martin Kindergarten is equipped with two additional caregivers who provide special support and social integration for children with disabilities. The kindergarten also employs specially trained healing pedagogues, ensuring a supportive environment that promotes participation alongside non-disabled peers. The kindergarten's integrative group, which includes nine children with disabilities, is a shining example of this inclusive approach.
The Minister of Social Affairs, Manfred Baumler, praised St. Martin Kindergarten for its integration of children with disabilities, highlighting its importance in fostering development and community integration. The kindergarten's staff focuses on providing essential foundations of human interaction and assistance with various challenges in kindergarten life.
Cutting out, baking, glazing, and decorating with streusel was the "work order" for the little bakers, who were provided with ready-to-roll dough, sponsored by local bakeries. The visit to St. Martin Kindergarten was a heartwarming reminder of the power of community and the importance of inclusivity in early childhood education.
