Waldkindergarten Darmstadt e.V.
Last reviewed: June 2026
Darmstadt's oldest forest kindergarten, founded in 1998 as a parent initiative and in operation since 1999. The children experience the forest every day and in all weather, through the changing seasons. Besides the forest sites, there is a large garden and a lunchtime care service. The association's express purpose is to bring children closer to nature and a responsible relationship with it.
What speaks for it
Long experience with nature pedagogy — the setting has existed since 1999. A large garden in addition to the forest sites, plus a warm lunchtime service. A parent initiative with a strong sense of community.
What you should know
A pure forest kindergarten — everyday life takes place outdoors, weatherproof clothing is a must. As a parent initiative, binding involvement is part of it. Places are limited.
