Kinderstube Altona e.V.

About us

Kinderstube Altona e.V. is a parent initiative and, since its founding in 1974, the oldest of its kind in the Sternschanze district. In 2017, the daycare moved from Bartelsstraße 65 to Bartelsstraße 12 due to a new building project. We are currently waiting for the completion of the new premises so that we can continue our work at the original location in new rooms.

We care for children aged 3 to 6 years in a group of around 20 children.

Our daycare center is toy-free. The name “toy-free kindergarten” might be misleading at first, as we do not forgo all play materials. Instead, the materials available are consciously selected. The aim is to counter the overexposure of children to ready-made toys and instead help them discover the many ways they can engage and entertain themselves creatively and actively. The educators act as supportive guides, offering encouragement and occasional inspiration along the way.
