COVERSTORY
Das Bundesministerium für Familie,
Senioren, Frauen und Jugend
und die KfW Bankengruppe starteten
schon zum 1. Februar 2013 zwei neue,
zinsgünstige Förderprogramme für den
Ausbau von Kinderbetreuungsangeboten.
Hierfür stehen von 2013 bis 2015 KfW-Kredite
im Umfang von 350 Millionen Euro für
Kommunen und andere Träger von Kindertagesstätten
zur Verfügung. Das Bundesfamilienministerium
unterstützt das Vorhaben mit einer Zinsverbilligung.
Die Förderung ist Bestandteil des Zehn-
Punkte-Plans der Bundesregierung "Kindertagesbetreuung
2013".
Bewegung statt Verkopfung
Neubau-, Umbau-, Umwandlungs-, Sanierungs-, Renovierungs-
und Modernisierungsmaßnahmen sowie Ausstattungsinvestitionen
in der Kita. Wichtig dabei bleibt das
Thema „Bewegung“ – und damit auch das Außenareal mit
dem Spielplatz. Die Sportwissenschaftlerin Professor Renate
Zimmer forderte zum Thema „Bewegung im Kindesalter“: Um
sich gesund zu entwickeln, müssen Kinder die Chance bekommen,
sich täglich zu bewegen. Sie behauptet: „Toben
macht schlau“. Renate Zimmer ist Professorin für Sportwissenschaft
und Sportpädagogik an der Universität Osnabrück.
Im Verlag Herder erschien von Ihr das Buch „Toben macht
schlau – Bewegung statt Verkopfung“.
Spielplatz U3 aus planerischer Sicht
Das Thema „Kita“ bleibt spannend. Der Ausbau der Kinderbetreuung
muss quantitativ und qualitativ vorangetrieben
werden. Dabei wichtig: Was benötigt das Kind unter drei
Jahren für einen Kinderspielplatz? Was muss für das Umfeld
getan werden? Wie sieht dieses „Spielareal“ aus Sicht des
On 1st February 2013 the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs,
Senior Citizens, Women and Youth and the KfW Banking Group
started up two new, low-interest incentive programmes for the construction
of child care facilities. For this purpose, from 2013 to 2015 KfW
are providing loans totalling 350 million Euros to local authorities and
other providers of child care facilities. The Federal Ministry of Family
Affairs is supporting the project with an interest-rate subsidy. The promotion
is part of the Federal Government's ten point plan, "Children's
Day Care Facilities 2013".
Using the body instead of overloading the brain
Measures for new construction, renovation, conversion, refurbishment
and modernisation, plus investment in facilities in children's day care
facilities. In these, the theme of movement remains an important one –
and therefore also space out of doors for the playground. On the topic of
"Movement in Infancy" the sports scientist Professor Renate Zimmer
said: "In order to develop in a healthy manner, children must have the
chance to take exercise every day". She stated, "Active play sharpens the
wits". Renate Zimmer is Professor of Sports Science and Sports Education
at the University of Osnabrück. The Herder Publishing House has
published her book, Toben macht schlau – Bewegung statt Verkopfung
(Active play sharpens the wits – using the body instead of overloading
the brain).
Playgrounds for the under 3's
from the planning perspective
The topic of children's day care facilities remains exciting. In the
expansion of child care quantity and quality must be guaranteed. Important
points are: What does the child under three years of age need in
a children's playground? What needs to be done for the surrounding
area? What do these "areas for play" look like from the landscape
planner's perspective? What are the planning premises?
Johannes Czerniejewski, Landscape planner NRW study group,

DIN 1176/ 1177, GPSG, GUV-SR 2002 – safety is the highest
imperative! Guidelines for the prevention of accidents are the bible for
every planner. The requirement for risk and the fathoming of one's own
boundaries is not only significant, but in particular for children under
four years old, is an important step for developing the motor skills, the
senses and creativity. Consequently, finding a healthy balance between
safe play and the incentive to take calculated risks presents the planner
with special tasks when dealing with younger children. The "ouch"
effect is good and is an important part of healthy physical development.
Unforeseeable dangers, however, must at all costs be avoided. The
promotion of imagination and creativity must go hand in hand with safe
design.
Moreover the challenge also lies in creating playgrounds which will
please all age groups and will satisfy all development needs. The playground
user often goes there with several children of various ages. The
greater the difference in age, the harder it is to do justice to the differing
requirements. For this reason items of play equipment or combinations
of games for all age groups are difficult to design. Separate zones in a
play area for the different age groups make for a good playground. This,
however, should not lead to insurmountable barriers or even widely
