Welcome to Strese
Located at Stresemannstraße 52, between the Schanzenviertel and St. Pauli, our spacious facility spans 500 square meters on the ground floor, offering generous areas for both infants and preschool children. On the upper floor, you'll find our atelier, the learning workshop, and the seminar room of our training center.
The heart of our center is our large Piazza, serving as a children's dining area, exhibition space, and parent meeting point.
The adjacent infant rooms accommodate 30 children, and a large loft area provides extensive views from different heights, offering various perspectives. The room-in-room concept, featuring a building area, a playhouse, an atelier, and a discovery zone, embodies the Reggio approach by using the room as the "Third Educator," encouraging self-directed learning. Our educators act as loving guides and relationship-builders, providing children with space for self-discovery while being a secure haven. Our small outdoor area is especially enjoyed during the summer.
The main space for our up to 65 preschool children, aged three to six, is our large workshop area, designed with various functional zones according to the principle of the room as the Third Educator. Here, children find a building and exploration area, a theater, a children's playhouse, and a flexible space that adapts to their current interests. In the spacious atelier with a woodworking shop on the first floor, children are invited to equip themselves from material and color buffets and then engage in creative work at low tables and wall easels. First-hand craft experiences can be gained using real tools.
Throughout the year, we visit nearby playgrounds daily.
In their final year before school, the oldest group spends two hours each day in the learning workshop, equipped with Montessori and Nikitin materials and learning kits. All three age groups enjoy our large movement room, where the varied equipment invites children to test and develop their physical skills.

Leadership
Anne Boysen
Head of Education
My heart’s mission is to ensure that everyone, especially the children, feels truly comfortable and happy at Strese. In our center, children should have the freedom to follow their intrinsic motivation through unpressured play, growing and learning in a space where they always feel safe, acknowledged, and valued.
Jonas Irle
Deputy Head
My heart’s mission is to provide children with diverse developmental opportunities, allowing each child to grow in their own unique way and according to their individual interests.
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.

Our Educational Concept ...
... proven and structured!
Loris Malaguzzi, founder of the Reggio Emilia approach, writes in his poem “The Hundred Languages of Children” that a child has a hundred languages, a hundred hands, a hundred ways of thinking, speaking, and playing, a hundred worlds to discover, a hundred worlds to dream.
Our goal is to preserve this diversity of languages, thoughts, approaches, and dreams while addressing the risk that a child’s innate openness might be overshadowed by the often one-sided influences of society.
The Reggio Emilia approach is based on the belief that every child is capable of self- education and interaction within a social context from the very beginning. Children are thus the architects of their own reality and development. The community acts as a co- constructor, and the environment plays a crucial role as the "third educator." The spaces within the center function as a rich environment, offering children both stimulation and challenges as well as comfort and opportunities for retreat.
