Environmental education, movement training, language programs – the Staudinger power plant supports a number of programs for children. The objective common to all the projects is to give the children strength and assist families. This is why the Staudinger power plant accepts social and community responsibility in the region. The collaboration is on a long-term basis in every case, so as to ensure the projects have a sustained life.

Environmental Education for children at the wildlife park “Alte Fasanerie” Kleinauheim
At the deer and wildlife park “Alte Fasanerie” in Hanau-Kleinauheim the Staudinger power plant sponsors a project for environmental education that allows elementary school students to visit the wildlife park. The objective of this cooperation is to sensibilize children for the concerns of the environment and to promote a well-founded understanding of forest and nature. The children visit the wildlife park together with a special educator. The objective of the guided visits is to develop a positive attitude towards the domestic wild animals and the forest as an important wildlife habitat.

Movement Training at St. Laurentius Kindergarten Großkrotzenburg 
Early learning is a vital element of sensible and responsible child care. With the aid of the power plant the kindergarten can pay the necessary interior equipment and trainings for the kindergarten teachers. Another major concern of the kindergarten St. Laurentius is to maintain and to promote the children’s joy of movement. Due to the sponsoring of the power plant special trainings and complementary equipment can be offered that help to support every child according to its age range.

Language programs at S. Vinzenz day-care center in Großkotzenburg
The St. Vinzenz day-care center in Großkrotzenburg launched a project work for language training. Difficulties with pronunciation, a limited vocabulary or problems with phonetics put a strain on the daily life of many children. Realized at an early stage these problems can be very well treated. The Staudinger power plant supports this project which leads to a long-term improvement of the children’s faculty of speech.

Playground equipment for the integrative day-care center St. Johann Baptist in Steinheim
Motion plays a decisive role within the daily routine of children. However, the playground of the day-care center, hosting about 100 children aged between two and six years, needed a solid renovation. In order to allow the children not only to play safely but also to offer manifold motion alternatives and a reasonably organized playground, it was also a particular concern of the kindergarten to purchase new playground equipment. This project is sponsored by the Staudinger power plant.

Girls’ group and day care of the family network Hanau
The Staudinger power plant and the family network Hanau maintain a long partnership. The family network always develops its projects closely orientated on the needs of children and teenagers. It also offers them the opportunity to play an active part in the creation of new projects.
 
In the last years especially the project „Explorer Kids“ has been supported where kids from the age of six years on are introduced in a playful way to natural sciences. This year the main focus of the sponsorship is on projects of day care on Saturdays as well as on the creation of a group for girls with migration background.
