Moving to Munich with a young family comes with many exciting opportunities – but finding the right childcare can be one of the first challenges.
If you are looking for a welcoming environment where your child receives high-quality early education, the Wichtel Akademie (Elf Academy in English) combines a warm, international atmosphere with a bilingual educational and childcare experience designed around the needs of children and families.
The Wichtel Akademie welcomes families from a wide range of cultural and international backgrounds. English is part of everyday life in the bilingual groups, creating an open environment in which different languages and cultures are a natural part of the children’s daily experiences.
For families who are new to Munich, building connections can be just as important as finding the right childcare. Through the Wichtel Akademie parent app, families can stay connected with their child’s everyday life and receive updates and insights from the daycare. This helps parents feel involved even when work and family life are busy.
The Wichtel Akademie also offers the ParentCampus, creating additional opportunities for parents to exchange ideas, learn and connect around topics related to family life and education.
A key feature of the Wichtel Akademie is its broad range of experiences and activities. Depending on the location, children can take part in sports and play, music, swimming, skiing, excursions and other age-appropriate activities. This variety gives children the opportunity to discover their individual interests, try new things and develop confidence in their own abilities.
One of the distinctive features of the Wichtel Akademie is its children’s yoga integrated into everyday life. Instead of being limited to a separate yoga class, short, playful yoga impulses are incorporated naturally into everyday routines – through breathing exercises, simple movements and stretches, mindfulness moments, relaxation techniques and imaginative journeys. The exercises require no yoga mat or special sports clothing, making them easy to integrate into transitions, circle time or everyday situations. In this way, children learn to become more aware of their bodies, recognise and regulate their emotions, strengthen their concentration and develop inner balance and confidence.
Alongside these yoga moments, the Wichtel Akademie also offers dedicated mat yoga, allowing children to explore body awareness, breathing, movement and relaxation in greater depth.
Food is another important part of the Wichtel Akademie’s childcare concept. Children receive full catering throughout the day, including breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks.
Meals are freshly prepared and designed to provide balanced, healthy nutrition for growing children. Shared mealtimes also create valuable opportunities for children to experience food, community and independence as part of their daily routine.
For international and working families, reliable and flexible childcare is essential. The Wichtel Akademie offers long opening hours and only a limited number of closing days, helping families plan their everyday lives with greater confidence.
Choosing a daycare in a new city is an important decision. Families want to know that their child is safe, cared for and encouraged to develop – while also having the opportunity to explore, play and simply enjoy being a child.
With its international environment, broad range of activities, integrated yoga concept, fresh meals and family-oriented services, the Wichtel Akademie offers a comprehensive childcare experience for families living in Munich.
