Children and Adolescents

At the Evangelische Stiftung Neinstedt, there is a long and rich tradition of working with children and young people, in which young people with and without disabilities live, learn, and play together.
We look after, educate, and support children and adolescents in day care and after-school care centers, in a special school for children with intellectual disabilities, and in an elementary school operated according to SGB VIII and XII.
These care and educational opportunities are a fundamental part of the Evangelische Stiftung Neinstedt as we work for a better future for society. The Foundation will continue to devote itself to the expansion of the children’s and youth campus in the future.
