Would you like to work with children with enthusiasm and dedication in an international, bilingual environment? If so, we look forward to meeting you.

We are looking for experienced and motivated kindergarten educators to work part-time or full-time at our Platanus Kindergarten in Berlin-Pankow.

What you can expect from us

At Platanus, you will work in a vibrant and culturally diverse community. Responsibility, independence, respect, tolerance, self-confidence and equality are values we live by together.

Our educational approach helps children to learn actively and independently. To this end, we create the right conditions for in-depth educational work:

  • small groups of no more than 18 children
  • an international and bilingual environment
  • a supportive and collegial team
  • space for your own ideas, interests and experiences
  • a modern and well-equipped working environment

What we offer

  • A supportive start and a strong team: We provide new colleagues with comprehensive support as they settle in. Teamwork, mutual support and an open approach to mistakes are a natural part of how we work.
  • Professional development and growth: We provide both organisational and financial support for internal and external training. We also support you in developing your German or English language skills.
  • Working hours that fit your life: When planning rotas, we take individual needs into account and place importance on a good work–life balance.
  • Attractive employment conditions: Pay is based on our in-house salary structure with six pay levels. Additional financial benefits are also available.
  • Support for families: Children of our employees are given priority for places at Platanus Kindergarten or with our partner lara.kita. Admission to Platanus Schule Berlin may also be possible, subject to available places and the relevant requirements.

In addition, we offer coaching and professional supervision where needed, as well as support in challenging situations.
