Welcome to ROKIDS

We discover the world!

Dear children, parents, grandparents, relatives, ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to ROKIDS, the ROSEN Group's bilingual daycare center in Lingen (Ems). ROKIDS stands for our “ROSEN children.” The star in the logo symbolizes their desire to explore their own planet as “little explorers” with wide eyes. Our guiding principle expresses our goal of giving every child the best possible support for a loving and individual development.

We would like to introduce you to our family-friendly and innovative educational institution and draw your attention to the special features that await you and your child. We hope you enjoy browsing and look forward to welcoming you and your child to our facility.

Bilingual Daycare Center

It was recognized early on that the conflict between work and family life poses challenges for the company: in some cases, the decision to focus on family, especially for women, means giving up their career. At the ROSEN Group, too, highly qualified employees leave the company to take parental leave and only return to work after several years.

The ROSEN Group wants to enable its employees to return to work at an early stage. Our commitment to creating a family-friendly environment and promoting early childhood education led us to open a daycare center in January 2008 that meets all requirements. Due to high demand, we doubled our childcare capacity in 2014 and expanded the building again in 2020. Depending on the age of the children, we can now offer a total of up to 145 places.

Nursery

Children between the ages of 8 weeks and three years, of all nationalities and with special needs, are welcome in our nursery. Some of the places are also available to the public. With an above-average staff-to-child ratio, it is important to us to give the children a loving and stable foundation for their future lives. The goals of our educational work are to strengthen the children's self-confidence and to promote and support their individual development.

Mixed-age groups

Children between the ages of two and six, of all nationalities and with special needs, are welcome in our cross-age groups (some with individual integration). Some places are also available to the public. With an above-average staff-to-child ratio, it is important to us to give children a loving and stable foundation for their future lives.

Bilingual education

Our children learn the English language in a completely natural setting, playfully and without performance pressure as part of their daily routine. Called immersion, this method allows children to ‘immerse themselves in the language.’ In addition to the German specialists, each group has a bilingual specialist who, according to the principle ‘one person – one language,’ only speaks English.

Science and technology

The entire ROKIDS team inspires our children with scientific and technical phenomena as part of the ‘Haus der kleinen Forscher’ (House of Little Scientists) initiative. In order to awaken the spirit of discovery in our budding researchers and to promote their talents, we offer exciting activities and free access to building sets, various assembly kits and experiment boxes.

Integrated Language Support

In general, language training is provided by all specialists in everyday group work. The task is to create new language stimuli and to strengthen the development of oral motor skills, pronunciation and vocabulary expansion. Our in-house language support specialist regularly observes in the groups, gives impulses and exchanges information with the educational staff on a case-by-case basis so that the children can be accompanied in the best possible way.

Curative education

The common education of impaired and non-impaired children is seen as a great opportunity in our facility. We accept every child with his or her talents, possibilities and weaknesses and experience everyday life together in the most valuable way

Individual focus areas

In the group room, our children can be active and selfdetermined in a variety of play areas. During their voyage of discovery they are accompanied in a situation-oriented manner by our specialists. In doing so, we offer the children daily needs-oriented activities to encourage them in their talents and to introduce them to all fields of learning and experience.

Talent-oriented work

Our specialists have various focal points in which they act as conceptual contacts, evaluate the concept and help shape it. In addition to the main design of projects, they also have contact to other team members, so that the children benefit holistically from the talents of all employees.

ABC-Club

In the last year of Kindergarten, we carefully introduce our ABC children to elementary school from September onwards. The children grow together across groups and form constructive group dynamics among their peers. In the ABC Club, which takes place three times a week, a specialist deals with a monthly topic on various educational areas.

Children's parliament

At the beginning of a new daycare year, two representatives for our so-called children’s parliament are elected in each of the elementary area groups. The representatives of the groups act as mouthpieces for all children at ROKIDS to discuss wishes and suggestions. The nursery area can also contact the children’s parliament at any time.

Registration for the waiting list

We are delighted that the ROKIDS daycare center has been so well received. However, this has resulted in a long waiting list.

About ROKIDS

The bilingual child daycare center ROKIDS was opened in 2008 as the first company daycare center in Emsland. The bilingual education enables the children to learn German and English from the very beginning under natural conditions – playfully and without pressure. ROKIDS also pays special attention to the fields of natural sciences and technology and is closely linked to the concept of the ROSEN bilingual grade school (ROBIGS). Legally, ROKIDS belongs to ROCARE GmbH, which is part of the ROSEN Group in Lingen (Ems).

Opening hours & holidays

Our groups are open as follows:

Monday to Friday: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Morning nursery: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Educational activities take place from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. If it is necessary to pick up children during core educational hours, parents should notify the group's staff in advance. If required, cross-group extended hours between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. or between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. can be used.

Since there is an increased demand for childcare during the holiday periods and bottlenecks need to be compensated for, ROKIDS is only closed between Christmas and New Year and on three days in July. These “planning days” are used to evaluate our work and prepare a child-friendly atmosphere for the new daycare year. We will announce the dates well in advance.

Meal times

Breakfast

We eat together three times a day. For a healthy breakfast (starting at 8:45 a.m.), please send your child with bread, cereal, fresh vegetables, or fruit in a kindergarten bag or similar container. Milk, cocoa, tea, and water are available to the children at all times.

Lunch

Lunch (11:30 a.m. to approx. 12:45 p.m.) is freshly prepared every day by our canteen. Parents can choose between two menus in advance each week and enjoy lunch with their child at our facility. Orders can be placed via the touchscreen in the entrance area or by email daily from 7:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. You will receive the menu one week in advance.
