Welcome to the kindergarten!

Take advantage of your opportunities in Germany – with our support! 

Excellent working conditions and innovative educational work await you 

The world of childcare in Germany is colourful – children are cared for in both public and church institutions, but also in private kindergartens with specialist educational concepts (Montessori, Waldorf...). In all concepts, the personal development of the children comes first. The children play as they learn – whether that means singing, handicrafts or gymnastics – and spend a lot of time out in the open air.

For varied and responsible work with children of all ages, at the ZAV, we arrange for qualified teaching professionals to come and work in Germany. Are you interested?
