The New Emmy Stein Kindergarten in Seligenstadt Stadium
In Seligenstadt, a new kitten has been named in honor of Holocaust victim Emmy Stein.
Seligenstadt, a town committed to expanding childcare facilities, is set to welcome a new addition to its educational landscape. The new kindergarten, named the "Emmy Stein Kindergarten," is located within the Seligenstadt Stadium grounds and is named after Emmy Stein, a Jewish child who was a victim of the Holocaust.
Historical Significance
Emmy Stein lived on Aschaffenburger Street in Seligenstadt and was born on November 23, 1934. On September 30, 1942, she was deported to the Treblinka extermination camp, along with 38 other Jewish citizens of Seligenstadt. Emmy's tragic fate serves as a poignant reminder of the dark chapters of Seligenstadt's history. The naming of the kindergarten is a conscious remembrance of Emmy and all Seligenstadt children whose lives were extinguished by the terror of National Socialism.
Kindergarten Details
The Emmy Stein Kindergarten is designed to accommodate a larger number of children and is run by Erasmus Offenbach gGmbH. It will initially have six groups: two nursery groups, two mixed-age groups, and two groups for children aged three to six. The kindergarten will have a multilingual concept, reflecting the town's commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive educational environment.
The facility boasts modern classrooms, play areas, and facilities tailored to children’s developmental needs. Sustainable building practices, enhanced safety features, and integration of outdoor activities linked to the stadium’s open areas are also planned. This expansion supports working families by providing more local childcare options and aligns with broader community development goals.
A Significant Step Forward
The Mayor of Seligenstadt, Dr. Daniell Bastian, stated that the start of the new facility will create sufficient childcare places in Seligenstadt, addressing the increasing demand for quality early childhood education in the town. The care team is currently preparing for the operational start of the kindergarten, with plans to gradually expand its offerings, starting with the integration of two groups.
The Emmy Stein Kindergarten is more than just a new educational facility; it represents a symbol of hope and resilience, a testament to the town's commitment to learning from its past and building a brighter future for its youngest citizens.
Other city residents may find the Emmy Stein Kindergarten an enriching addition to their home-and-garden community, as its multilingual concept aims to foster a diverse learning environment. As working parents seek suitable education-and-self-development opportunities for their children, this new kindergarten offers a promising choice alongside the town's existing offerings.
