Welcome to Sohu
Our center is exclusively an infant daycare and a home for 30 infants. Housed in a former coffee roastery, the building’s charm creates a true oasis of comfort. It is situated a bit off the main road, in a small courtyard.
Sohu has two infant groups, each accommodating fifteen children. Infants naturally require a lot of emotional support, and our dedicated staff build a trusting relationship with each child through their loving approach.
Our transition period is based on the Berliner Modell and usually lasts four weeks. This allows children to gently adapt to the daily routine of the center. Your child will get to know their caregivers, peers, and the environment at their own pace.
According to the Reggio Emilia approach, the environment acts as the “third educator.” Our staff continuously prepare the spaces to facilitate an optimal self-directed learning process for the children.
In both groups, children encounter various functional areas based on the room-within- a-room concept: The studio invites experimentation and creativity with its material buffets. The children’s apartment provides a space for retreat or imaginative play with friends. The cozy corner, movement area, exploration corner, and building area offer various experiential spaces for children to explore. The dining area, located on the ground floor, serves as a gathering place, play area, and dining room.
In alignment with Hamburg's educational recommendations, we offer children various activities in art, music, dance, movement, creativity, as well as early mathematical and scientific experiences.

Leadership
Cosima Kuhlmann
Head of Infant Care
What is particularly important in my work is creating a space for children where their needs are the focus, they feel comfortable, and they have time to learn through their own exploration.
Education, Connection, and Loving Care ...
... for a successful start in the infant program!
In our five locations, we care for about 30 infants aged one to three years in each facility, with a staff-to-child ratio of one educator for every five infants.
When children join us, they are acclimatized using the Berlin model, as our primary goal is to create a strong and secure bond between the educator and the child. A sense of security and familiarity lays the foundation for enjoyable and effective educational work. The Berlin model involves a gentle acclimatization process with the participation of a parent and the future primary caregiver. Initially, the child visits the center briefly and with a parent, gradually increasing their time at the center over the following days and weeks. This process leads to a reliable and positive attachment. Our acclimatization process typically lasts around four weeks.

Did you know ...
-
... that it can be beneficial for children to attend a daycare or childcare service from as early as their first birthday? At this age, children start engaging more with their surroundings and begin to explore their environment in a curious manner.
-
... that children benefit from starting daycare early? Being in a group with children from diverse social backgrounds promotes healthy development. In the daycare environment, children quickly learn to be part of a community, understand the importance of waiting and patience - an essential social skill for life. Additionally, children who attend daycare tend to have more self-confidence compared to those who are cared for at home.
-
... that learning can happen simply by observing and watching other children play?
-
... that at home, children are often "in the background"? They may accompany a parent when they go shopping, cook, work, or do other activities, but the amount of time spent solely focused on the child is relatively short. In contrast, a daycare day is filled with experiences like playing, singing, and crafting - activities specifically designed for children, which parents at home might not be able to provide.
As you can see, we think carefully about how best to support your child’s development. You can find more details in our educational concept. 😉
We Foster Creativity and Cognitive Skills in Preschool Children
We love art. However, our clear identity as the original Hamburg Art Daycare Center is not an end in itself. While early engagement with art and creativity is a lot of fun, it is through the Reggio Emilia approach that children learn to educate themselves, laying the foundation for lifelong learning, academic achievement, and ultimately, career success.
In our preschool rooms, the consistent implementation of the room-within-a-room concept offers numerous opportunities for play, exploration, and learning. With areas such as a building corner, stage, reading lounge, mini-apartment, and a Montessori- style play area, we provide an excellent framework for self-directed education. Children can choose between their need for activity or quiet and engage with the changing educational offers from our educators according to their own interests.
