Kita Menschenskinder
Last reviewed: June 2026
A day-care centre in Darmstadt-Kranichstein, run by the association Menschenskinder – Werkstatt für Familienkultur. It cares for 60 children in four groups. Meals are vegetarian, made from organic ingredients and freshly prepared each day — and the children join in the cooking once a week. The outdoor grounds have raised beds, fruit trees, a nibbling garden and a willow tepee.
What speaks for it
Organic catering, freshly prepared each day and vegetarian, with the children as weekly co-cooks. The nature-oriented grounds make experiencing nature part of everyday life rather than an add-on. Part of a family centre supported by the state of Hesse, with accompanying offerings for parents.
