New habitat for children: Hellerwiese kindergarten in Kirchdorf expanded

In Kirchdorf an der Krems, the extended Hellerwiese kindergarten was recently inaugurated, a renovation that was funded at around 1.65 million euros. This investment brings considerable improvements for the children and the supervising staff. Now the ten -year -olds and the educators have two new group rooms, a movement room and a dining room.

The long -awaited time marked the end of a comprehensive construction phase that began in January 2024. The head of the children's education and support facilities in Kirchdorf, Lydia Ballenstorfer, was enthusiastic about the new premises. "In addition to the family, the kindergarten is an important place for growth and self -realization. Today we open up rooms in which children can find security and develop," said their words during the opening ceremony.

He emphasized that the new premises create a positive environment in which children can grow up happily. In addition, the celebrations were characterized by a positive mood, as the social councilor Christian Dörfel (ÖVP) noticed. He symbolically presented a horseshoe to bring happiness.

also the community councilor, Michael Lindner (SPÖ), joined the positive statements. He pointed out how important it was to create the foundations for the compatibility of family and work. Despite existing challenges, especially in comparison to other federal states, he states: "We are on the right track."

The celebrations were also accompanied by a religious aspect, since Markus Weikl, the curator of the Evangelical parish, together with pastor Severin Kranabitl, blessed the new premises. This was very well received by the parents and representatives of the community present.

Aktuell 122 children are currently being looked after in the Hellerwiese kindergarten, including 47 from different nations that require language support. Lydia Ballenstorfer emphasized that the new dining room was urgently needed and that the movement space was a great relief for the children. The rush is so large that ten children are on the waiting list for a possible seventh group. If appropriate staff can be found, this could start in March.

The new extensions of the kindergarten are not only an improvement in the physical premises, but also a step towards a better educational environment for the little ones in the community. You can find more information on this topic www.tips.at .
