COVERS : STAMMHEIM |
 |
Stamps created by the children of the Florstadt Kindergarten
of district Stammheim. |
In German
Town Florstadt the Kindergarten of district Stammheim celebrated the 10th anniversary in 1997.
In 1987 a group of young parents established a "Kindergarten" for young children (from around 10 month up to 3 years), so called "Krabbelstube Stammheim". It was a private parents initiative.
So in 1997 they have had "10 years festival" and made some funny things. It was a party (with clown) for the very small children and fun for their parents and sisters and brothers (including children post with own stamps etc). For an owner of a printery it was easy to make such propaganda material.
Stammheim (around 1300 residents) is a part of the city of Florstadt (city with little less than 9000 residents). So in Stammheim nearly every body knows each other. After long years of political fights these parents initiative had the chance to integrate their initiative into the Kindergarten Stammheim, former protestant kindergarten, now under city management, with more money for education and care.
The educational management of the Kindergarten is always very imagine. They created a "Kigamenta" - cfr the "documenta" in Kassel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documenta).
The leaders of the Kindergarten topped the last children festival with the "kigamenta" (Kindergarten + Documenta), because they sayed, children are really creativ and are artists too. (https://www.florstadt.de/verzeichnis/mandat.php?mandat=117408&kategorie=5&browser=1)
Today's parents of the Kindergarten are very committed and they founded a development association, now it's allowed to collect donnations, which the official Kindergarten was not allowed to do. (https://kisoev.jimdofree.com/%C3%BCber-uns/)
