🇩🇪 ESC Volunteering in Germany 🧸 Bilingual and Multicultural Day Care for Young Children 🎨

Description

We have 6 open ESC positions, each in a different day care center, to work with children in age 0 to 6. Some of these are bilingual (German-French) centers, but in general all kitas host multicultural staff of pedagogs and children too. Your tasks are: supporting the educators in one group of children in their daily activities - role playing, sport, arts; supporting the kitchen; going with the children on excursions; realizing a personal project with the children if desired, such as handycrafts or games.
