Supervision for Preschool and School Teams in Berlin and Brandenburg
Growing together. Setting boundaries. Maintaining job satisfaction.
- Do you feel how the daily strain of noise, conflicts, and emotional demands is wearing you down?
- Are there unspoken tensions within the team – between colleagues, with management, or in interactions with parents?
- Do you sometimes wonder where your professional role ends and your personal involvement begins?
Why is supervision important for preschool and school teams?
Educators and teachers work every day with a high degree of emotional presence. They support children and adolescents in their development, bear responsibility for group and class dynamics, communicate with parents, and simultaneously navigate institutional requirements, scarce resources, and often complex team structures – whether in a daycare center in Berlin-Mitte, an elementary school in the Brandenburg countryside, or in the digital realm.
This work is meaningful – and it takes a lot of energy. Without a space for reflection and exchange, stressors often go unaddressed and become entrenched within the team, in the body, and in one’s own mindset.
Typical Topics in Team Supervision for Educational Teams
Typical topics that daycare and school teams bring to team supervision include, for example:
- Burnout and emotional overload in the day-to-day work of educators
- Unspoken tensions that strain collaboration
- Role conflicts within the team or with management
- Difficult parent-teacher conferences and unmet expectations
- Uncertainties in dealing with particularly challenging children
- Unspoken tensions that strain collaboration
How supervision supports educational teams
Systemic supervision for educational professionals offers precisely this space for reflection. In a safe environment, you can pause together, view current situations from a bird’s-eye perspective, and develop new courses of action
This is not about evaluation, but about growth: What dynamics are currently at play? What does the team need to work well together? How can roles be clarified – in relation to children, parents, and management?
Team supervision for educators and teachers strengthens not only the individual professional but the entire team.
Formats of Supervision
I offer supervision in various formats: team supervision, individual supervision, and case supervision.
Depending on the situation and needs, we decide together which format makes the most sense for your team.
Conclusion
Effective educational work requires more than just expertise and dedication – it requires spaces for reflection within teams. Supervision for daycare and school teams in Berlin and Brandenburg – including online sessions – provides exactly that: a dynamic, supportive environment where your team can grow, communicate more clearly, and work with greater ease.
Here’s how supervision can specifically support your team:
- Identify and process emotional stress together
- Resolve role conflicts – within the team, with management, and with parents
- Develop and strengthen a shared educational approach
- Foster more respectful and constructive interactions
- Gain confidence in handling challenging children
- Recognizing burnout early and actively preventing it
- Growing together as a team – with more joy and less tension
I guide you through this process with a systemic perspective and experience in educational settings – and with the ability to see what a team may not yet be able to put into words. Humor and lightheartedness are always part of the process.

10. How often should team supervision take place in educational institutions?
Many teams work with regular supervision, for example every four to eight weeks. Depending on the need, however, supervision can also take place as one-time support in difficult situations or as an ongoing process over a longer period of time. As a rule, we work for two to three hours per supervision session, depending on the need and team size. We will coordinate the exact details together.
M. V., Manager and Dentist in a Dental Practice
Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde very quickly succeeded in strengthening us as a management team in structured coaching sessions and her professional feedback helped us a lot in the further development of our management style, the structure in our practice and also in holding team meetings to discuss current issues in order to avoid new conflicts.
Dr. P. B., Lecturer and Head of Department at a Berlin University
With a great deal of commitment, classic and unconventional training methods, she was able to sensitize the colleagues in our workshop “Team building through feedback”. For teachers, receiving personal feedback in a group of colleagues is an unusual situation. With her professional moderation and a great deal of sensitivity, she mastered this excellently and led the workshop to a "tangible" result in the form of feedback rules that we developed together with her. The result will accompany the colleagues in the department in their future work.
Dr. M. B., Engineer/Managing Director of a Company in the Aviation Industry
With her background in mediation and coaching and her skills as an intercultural trainer, she was able to guide the German-English team through the workshops. In linguistically very difficult situations and in heated discussions, she was able to contribute significantly to the success of the workshops through simultaneous interpreting. Ms. Kostadinowa impressed and inspired my colleagues and me with her engaging, people-oriented manner, her humor and her strong personality.
G. V., Dental Practice Manager
Both the team and my partner and I have come to know and appreciate Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde's warm-hearted manner, her humor and her structured leadership. She asks smart questions, picks up when things get very emotional, shows ways forward when one or the other is stuck in a mental dead end, is always empathetic and patient and continuously gives appreciative and helpful feedback. We all felt strengthened and understood by working with her. Her working style has also deepened the understanding between us and promoted cohesion. My partner and I now have a strong and motivated team that we enjoy working with every day.
S. K., Coffee Import Company Manager
I was given lots of energy and positive tips and left each session with lots of feedback and inspiration. Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde takes on the personal story - in her manager coaching sessions - and thus deals specifically with the individual professional situation. I always came away from a session feeling stronger and knowing that I could count on honest feedback from Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde. Thank you for your great support in my day-to-day work!
A. S., Remedial Teacher, Assisted Individual Living for Mentally Ill People
I met a woman who touched me with her authenticity, sensitivity and high level of professionalism. In the team supervision sessions, Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde ensures a balance between extroverted and introverted participants. I am particularly impressed by her sensitive attention to the words that are spoken and, above all, to the words that are not spoken. Recognizing the issues without judgment, with a clear focus on solutions, without losing the naturalness, I clearly name as an outstanding strength. I am grateful that Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde makes the world more understanding, clearer, happier and lighter. I wish Mrs. Kostadinowa-Rohde much health, strength and joy to continue to bring her great work into the world.
T. S., Dental Practice Manager
I had a team coaching session with my practice team and Ms. Kostadinowa over several sessions. The reason for this was to gain understanding for my colleagues and to achieve better cooperation in a growing team. Even though the team was a little skeptical at first about what to expect, Ms. Kostadinowa quickly won everyone over. Through several exercises and team tasks, we were able to grow together better and address problems openly. Even though everything is a process and takes time, it was helpful and also very informative for me as a manager. I can only recommend it to any manager who wants to grow together with their team. The employees were also able to learn something new, whether for their work or how to deal better with conflicts in their private lives in future.
C. S., IT Company Executive
Ms. Kostadinowa supported us in a complex process very competently, sensitively and with a lot of patience and thus contributed significantly to team improvements on various levels. I can recommend you and your skills!
J. S., Head of Daycare Center
We worked as a team with Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde and it cleared up a lot of things and brought them to the surface, so that we now have a much better team atmosphere. I would work with her again at any time.
F. M., Research Center Manager
Ms. Kostadinowa has been accompanying my team and me as a conflict moderator and management coach for several years - whether in times of crisis due to Corona or when changes in the team, change processes, etc. have led to tensions in the team. She works with us primarily with the entire team, but sometimes also in pairs or in individual sessions - both in person and online.
We are more than satisfied with her performance and look forward to further discussions with her. Thank you very much for your support.
