with families from more than 20 nations, cultural diversity is an important part of our community. The care of children with and without disabilities is very important to us.
In 2010, we were one of the first regular daycare centers in Heidelberg to admit a toddler with trisomy 21 to one of our crèche groups and support him for 7 years until he starts school. Numerous other children with developmental delays have followed.

Our attempt in 2010 has now become a success - the "attempted integration" has turned into "lived inclusion". We now see it as an enrichment for the entire community, and there is great potential in learning from each other: because what is foreign and not understood is frightening. On the other hand, what is familiar and can be categorized can be approached openly and naturally. People with disabilities belong in the heart of society from the very beginning, as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities so beautifully states. We all go our own way in different ways - the important thing is that we make progress.
