21.07.2021, Töging. The municipal kindergarten in Töging is currently hosting 43 children. To allow the teachers to fully focus on the children, Spangler has donated digital devices to support a management app.
“For us, it’s always a heartfelt desire to give back to our hometown,” summarizes Tina Lambert, Managing Partner at Spangler, reflecting the company’s philosophy. Therefore, a request from the Töging kindergarten for IT equipment was positively approved.
Spangler covered the costs of acquiring tablet PCs. These devices are not intended for the children but serve as a foundation for administration and communication through digital solutions, which will significantly simplify and accelerate processes in the future. According to Mayor Bernd Mayr, the kindergarten is a flagship project within the municipal network. He anticipates that the tablets will eventually be adopted by other municipal kindergartens as well.
Franz Wittmann, a father of two, commented: “As Deputy Head of Purchasing at Spangler, I understand the importance of digitalization and networking. Personally, I have a strong connection to this kindergarten, as I attended it myself, and both my sons were cared for here. In recent months, public infrastructure has faced significant digital challenges, and even though this is just the beginning, we can at least help our local kindergarten to better collaborate with parents.”
The tablets in Töging are being used for various administrative tasks. Given the high standards for safeguarding children’s data, the specially developed app “CARE” is used, where data is stored securely and encrypted. This ensures that communication between parents and the kindergarten is safe and protected. With just one click, all parents can be reminded of an upcoming excursion, letters to parents can be sent in an environmentally friendly way, or the children’s information—such as birthdays, allergies, and special needs—can be accessed. Digitalization also benefits parents; for example, sick children can be reported absent during the night, long before the first children arrive.
The devices donated by Spangler were formally handed over in a donation ceremony. Kindergarten director Roswitha Nikol accepted the much-anticipated devices. Mayor Bernd Mayr personally took the opportunity to see the new features of the devices.
“We are especially pleased that some of the children of Spangler employees attend this kindergarten,” said Tina Lambert. “This donation benefits everyone—the teachers, the children, the parents, and, in the end, even the employees.”
