Educator | Early Childhood Educator (m|f|d)

• who doesn’t just care for children, but truly inspires them
• You turn every day into an experience where children laugh, wonder, and grow – learning by fun included.
• With your educational superpowers, you recognise children’s needs even before they put them into words.
• You plan, play, sing, laugh, comfort and reflect with us – and every now and then transform pedagogical chaos into pedagogical brilliance.
• You enjoy creative portfolio work and love documenting development, because child development is far more exciting than a tax return.
• You confidently handle parent meetings – even the legendary ones that start with: “But he started it!”

• A recognised qualification as a state-certified early childhood educator, special needs educator, caregiver for people with disabilities, or a degree (Diploma, Bachelor’s or Master’s) in education, social work or a comparable field.
• You are a bit like Sherlock Holmes – spotting even the smallest developmental steps before they become big milestones.
• You are a communication pro: you de-escalate conflicts, don’t just survive team meetings but actively shape them, and document children, their adventures and progress so cleverly that later we can say, “Yes – that’s exactly how it was.”
• You communicate fluently in German or English. (If you speak both: bonus level unlocked! ????)

• An attractive working environment: a kindergarten team with more characters than a Marvel movie – and we’re currently casting the next leading role!
• Work in well-staffed small teams – and yes, we really do have a 100% qualified staff ratio. No wonder the children love us.
• A multilingual, international team right in the heart of Cologne – feel free to listen in and get to know us via our team audio message.
• Transparent pay (comparable to the public sector pay scale), plus a mobility allowance (job ticket or fuel voucher) for relaxed commuting, a company pension scheme, and a subsidy for Urban Sports Club – so not only the children, but you too are well looked after.
• Company bike leasing – escape traffic jams, rain, and bureaucracy!
• Up to 34 days of vacation, plus Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and Rose Monday off as a gift for celebrating properly.
• Upgrade your skill level! We offer financial support for language courses and additional training and professional development opportunities.
• Plenty of room to shape and contribute thanks to flat hierarchies – more co-determination than in some family councils.
• A family centre that lives, laughs and brings projects to life that sparkle far beyond the kindergarten horizon – almost like a small educational firework.
