ESC: Kindergarten with science-oriented profile in Leipzig, Germany (2024)

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our partner operates a cherished childcare facility situated in Germany. With a focus on early childhood education and care, our partner provides a nurturing environment for infants through preschool-aged children. Through a blend of structured learning activities, creative play, and social interaction opportunities, our partner fosters the holistic development of each child. Committed to excellence, our partner adheres to rigorous standards, ensuring the highest quality of care and education. Families in the community rely on our partner as a trusted partner in their children's growth and development journey, where safety, inclusion, and support are paramount.

💼 What the programme involves

The "Gohliser Höfe" day care centre, which opened in 2020, is located in the middle of a former industrial site. The day care centre has room for 90 children from the age of one year until school entry. Due to the natural science-oriented profile this day care centre creates a stimulating environment that invites them to experiment, research and discover. In this way, the children can develop their creativity and pursue their natural exploratory urge. The proximity to the park also enables the children to discover and explore nature and observe changes. A conscious approach to nature and its resources should also be important.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Our partner provides the volunteers with a furnished room in a shared apartment with a shared kitchen and bathroom. Volunteers will also receive a financial amount with which they can buy a ticket for the tram in Leipzig. Optionally, our partner can provide the volunteers with a bicycle to explore the city and the surroundings.

🍲 Food

For their meals, volunteers will receive a financial allowance.

📍 About the location

Leipzig, located in eastern Germany, is a city steeped in history and culture. Its centuries-old heritage is evident in its stunning architecture and cobblestone streets, offering a picturesque backdrop for exploration. Renowned for its musical legacy, particularly its association with Johann Sebastian Bach, Leipzig continues to be a hub for classical music enthusiasts, hosting annual festivals and concerts. Beyond its cultural offerings, Leipzig buzzes with modern energy, boasting a thriving arts scene, vibrant nightlife, and innovative industries. With its blend of tradition and innovation, Leipzig captivates visitors with its charm and vitality.

🎒 Leisure activities

In addition to the National Agency seminars, there is an educational seminar day once a month with a tutor and other volunteers. Here, our partner exchanges information about the volunteers' work and everyday life and combine this with excursions, educational content or experiential educational activities. In addition, volunteers will receive a language course based on their language level.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: as a volunteers place of assignment, our partner offers volunteers the opportunity to gain first insights into professional childcare. Volunteers can help the children to develop into independent personalities through their work. Our partner sees the volunteers as a supporting part of their team, who can gradually take over a variety of tasks independently, whether pedagogical, nursing or housekeeping. Our partner is happy when volunteers enrich their work with their abilities, interests and talents. It would be fine if the volunteers brought with them at minimum a basic knowledge of the German language.
Deadline: no application deadline.
