Mini Garten
Group setting for kindergarten preparation
● Who is Mini Garten for?
Mini Garten is aimed at children on the autism spectrum aged 3-6 years who are preparing for kindergarten. Neurotypical children are also welcome and enrich the group through natural social interactions.
Inclusive Group Structure
4 children on the spectrum + 2 neurotypical children + 2 specialists – this proven composition enables intensive care and natural peer interactions.
● A typical afternoon
Our afternoons are deliberately structured and mimic kindergarten daily life. With visual schedules and clear routines, we create security and predictability.
● Learning Goals
Together with parents, we develop individual learning goals for each child. Typical areas are:
- ✓ Communication – Expressing wishes, responding to speech
- ✓ Following instructions – Understanding and implementing group instructions
- ✓ Imitation – Learning from peers and adults
- ✓ Listening – Attention in the group
- ✓ Taking turns – Practice waiting and sharing
- ✓ Transitions – Flexibly switch between activities
● Registration & Process
Admission takes place after a personal introductory meeting and an assessment of your child. We take the time to ensure that Mini Garten is the right program for your family.
