Procedure Griffbereit

Procedure Griffbereit

How is Griffbereit running?

Parents and children take approx. Regularly 1 x per week for 1 year (can also take place more frequently if there is a need for the families) at the Griffbereit-group part. The program is offered, for example, in kindergartens, family centers or other educational institutions that are contact points for families.

characteristic of Griffbereit-Groups:

  • The parent-child interaction (playing, singing, handicrafts, etc.) is guided by specially qualified parent attendants.
  • In the Griffbereit- Group two or more languages are always spoken: German AND the family language(s) of the participants.

Specially developed Griffbereit-Materials offer parents/families age- and development-appropriate suggestions for varied play and language activities with their children in the family.
