The Kita-Check-APP is based on up-to-date scientific and technical knowledge about the design of day-care centers.
 
With the Kita-Check-APP the quality of the Kita can be checked in the following areas:

Area 1: Spaces inside (space for various movement activities and perceptual experiences)
⦁ Premises for large-scale, fast and varied movement activities
⦁ places to rest
⦁ perceptual promotion through a variety of surface materials
⦁ Different "terrain forms" for a variety of physical and physical experiences
⦁ movement space
⦁ Many different types of movement and different movement qualities

Area 2: Spaces outside (differently designed outdoor facilities for various movement activities and perceptual experiences)
⦁ Premises for large-scale and fast movement activities
⦁ play equipment for a variety of motor activities
⦁ Age-related loci of movement
⦁ places to rest
⦁ perceptual promotion through a variety of surface materials
⦁ Different "terrain forms" / vegetation for a variety of movement, body and sensory experiences
⦁ Customizable places
⦁ meeting places - places social coexistence

Area 3: Material equipment (versatile material that encourages active exploration, play and movement)
⦁ Flexible furniture
⦁ everyday materials
⦁ natural materials
⦁ trim utensils
⦁ rolling equipment
⦁ components
⦁ workshop
⦁ Exchange of materials according to the wishes of the children

Area 4: Kita culture (movement as a lived value in daily interaction)
⦁ Be a moving role model
Wahr exercise movement needs
⦁ self-determination (activity / rest, use of space)
⦁ Movement-inhibiting / nurturing Kita rules
⦁ Matching clothing for exercise / going out
⦁ Moving rituals
⦁ Confidence in the children's motor skills
⦁ Tolerance to risk of injury in movement situations
⦁ Responsible and conscious handling of supervisory duties and physical activity promotion

Area 5: Movement offers (time for different movement experiences)
⦁ Minimum movement time 60 min.
⦁ Fixed movement times
⦁ Open exercise offers
⦁ Optimal utilization of the movement space
⦁ Daily going out
⦁ Weekly excursion days
⦁ Rhythmizing movement / relaxation
⦁ Special exercise offers / Getting to know the movement culture
⦁ Target group specific offers (boys / girls)

Area 6: Methodology / Didactics (self-determined, "strengthening" movement)
⦁ Orientation to the interests and issues of children
⦁ resource and needs orientation
⦁ Play as a principle
⦁ Games with success / no deliberate initiation of failures
⦁ Open tasks
⦁ Principle of voluntariness
⦁ Principle of the maximum movement time

Area 7: Education & Movement (Moving Learning)
⦁ Movement supports linguistic development
⦁ movement supports the acquisition of mathematical and scientific knowledge and skills
⦁ Movement supports social-emotional development
⦁ Movement supports motor development

Area 8: Parental work (involvement of parents)
⦁ movement - topic in parent (educational) work
⦁ Consideration of parental interests and wishes for healthy growth
⦁ Parental participation / use of parental movement competences / resources
⦁ Information of the parents regarding exercise offers in the social area
⦁ Access to spatial resources for exercise offerings for parents

Area 9: Qualification and conception (qualification and strategy development for physical activity promotion)
⦁ Own movement knowledge / competences
Mindestens Per group (or 25 children) at least one educational specialist with additional qualification
⦁ one movement coordinator per daycare center for movement-oriented daycare
⦁ movement-oriented personnel development
⦁ internal knowledge management on the subject of exercise
⦁ Specialist literature on the subject of movement
⦁ Higher priority in conception
