Dino-Strong Empathy Factory – Projects for Daycare & Kindergarten
Discovering feelings, learning empathy, growing together
What is the Compassion Factory?
The Dino-Strong Empathy Factory is an adventure world for children where feelings, values, and imagination take center stage. Our projects are designed so that children can immerse themselves with joy and curiosity while simultaneously developing valuable social skills.
What we do
We develop lovingly designed weekly projects for children that combine stories, games, creativity and movement.
Each project week has a clear message:
-
“Bibbi says No” shows children that it is important to listen to their gut feeling and to confidently set boundaries.
-
Children learn how valuable helpfulness and compassion are when they go on an adventure tour with Schnecki.
-
Experience with Karl how important friends are and that friendship is possible everywhere in the world, no matter what language we speak.
But we don't stop there: Our compassion factory is constantly working on new ideas – topics such as friendship, prejudice, greed, courage, being different or gratitude will soon also be part of our project worlds.
What makes us stand out
Our mostly multilingual daycare materials combine educational standards with playful experiences. We want children not only to listen, but to actively participate – crafting, laughing, singing, dancing, playing, and learning in the process. Educators and children immediately sense this:
This is not about dry theory, but about genuine interaction.
Educational background
The Dino-Strong Compassion Factory stands for values-based pedagogy that strengthens children in their personality development. We foster empathy, helpfulness, the ability to recognize feelings, and self-determination. We embrace diversity and strive to dismantle prejudices.
Our main areas of focus are:
Emotional education: Being able to recognize, name, and express feelings.
Empathy and compassion: Understanding and being considerate of others.
Self-efficacy: Having the courage to make one's own decisions.
Social learning: Finding solutions together, settling disputes, acting fairly.
Our goal
We want to give children a voice – and show them how important it is to treat themselves and others with care. At the same time, we provide educators with practical tools that enrich everyday life and bring new inspiration.
The journey of the Dino-Strong Empathy Factory has only just begun. Many creative projects are being developed – always with the goal of bringing children closer to the world of emotions and giving them dino-strong values for life.
