Ahorn-Kindergarten Gramschatz

Founded in 1907, Ahorn-Kindergarten Gramschatz is a non-profit association based in Rimpar, Germany working on children & youth, education, religion & faith.

The Ahorn-Kindergarten in Gramschatz, near Rimpar in Lower Franconia, is run by the non-profit registered association St. Johannesverein Gramschatz e. V. The association was founded in 1907 to establish a children's day nursery and is the legal operator and employer of the kindergarten. The kindergarten is a Catholic, volunteer-led facility that accepts children regardless of religion or background. It offers childcare for children from 1 year, with a nursery group for ages 1 to 3 and a kindergarten group for ages 3 until school entry, plus after-school and holiday care for school children. The licensed capacity is stated as 30 places for children aged 3 to 10 and 12 places for children aged 1 to 3. Services include a warm lunch, a Catholic religious and seasonal education approach, movement and music activities, and observation-based child development documentation. Families can become members of the association for an annual fee of 33 euros, which the association states gives them lower kindergarten fees. The facility is run by a board of parents serving in a voluntary capacity for three-year terms.
