Urban Kids Academy GmbH

Stuttgart, Germany

Description

The Urban Kids Academy (UKA) is a private, bilingual nursery/daycare with 3 locations in Stuttgart. One for kids aged 8 weeks to 3 years near the Kriegsbergturm and one for kids aged 8 weeks to 6 years. Their intercultural team of professionals and students look after children in pedagogically appealing group rooms as well as big indoor play spaces and large garden areas. The gardens offers a protected space for year-round outdoor activities. With lovingly furnished indoor areas, they create an ideal environment for the children's development and a place that feels like a second home. Your tasks will include: - support the care of bilingual children (German/English) and work closely with professionals - playing and learning with the children, creative activities - support the team with housekeeping tasks (e.g. preparing breakfast, putting away the dishwasher) - participate in training and team events
