The imagination workshop – childcare in the family hotel Mateera

“Three things remained with us from paradise: the stars by night, the flowers by day and the children’s eyes.”
(quotation translated) Dante Alighieri (1265 – 1321), Italian poet

The imagination workshop – the central issue of childcare

The imagination workshop is much more than a children’s programme, as it has been created especially according to the wishes and preferences of children in their holidays. It gives your children the chance to romp around in nature together with their playmates, to experience adventures, but also to pause and to take in their environment with all senses. Professional and experienced personnel take care of an eventful togetherness, thus making the imagination workshop into an unforgettable experience for your children.

Fulfilled wishes for your children – the pillars of the imagination workshop

To find new playmates
Children need friends. The glimpse of a new environment, into other horizons of experience, is a good chance to further develop the ability of your children to make contact and their intuitive understanding. Together with their peers, your children discover forest ghosts, leaf fairies and other inhabitants of the woods. In the setting of the imagination workshop, their day is designed to further the interaction of the children among each other.

Experience of nature in the mind and with the senses
Regrettably, nature becomes a strange environment for many children. This is where the imagination workshop consciously wants to counteract and gives your children the chance to experience nature with their mind and their senses:
What does the forest smell like?
What can I make with the fruits of the woods?
How do I construct a reservoir in summer, and an igloo in winter?
Experience the seasons consciously – in the imagination workshop, children experience nature with all their senses!

Romp around at will in the children’s hotel Mateera
Children will be children and therefore they want to run, climb, jump and romp around. The imagination workshop offers the space in which children can own the world actively and playfully. They wish to test their body, find themselves and thus experience their limits. The imagination workshop offers various options to further the urge to move also during the holiday: ball- and motion games, games and sports, skiing exercises, tobogganing afternoon and much, much more.

Real animals to touch
Many children have no direct access to animals any longer. By having contact with them, children experience the close relationship man – nature. What child would not dream of fondling horses, to feed them and care for them? The animals of the neighbouring farms, too, wait to be discovered. But not only pets are interesting; also the animals of the forest like birds, squirrels, stag, deer, marmots are fascinating!
