Aventura Nikolsburg KiTa UG

The association Aventura Nikolsburg KiTa UG was founded in the year 2004 and opened six bilingual kindergartens in Berlin-Wilmersdorf since then. The aim of the association is to let children develop freely in a harmonious environment where creativity and new ideas play a major role. An important aspect of this is bilingualism - because languages promote both the individual development and the social skills of the children. The teams of educators are equally mixed with German- and Spanish-speaking persons. The association sees itself as a link between these cultures. We believe that children should be able to develop across borders without prejudice. For us, the individual child is a personality in its own right, of equal value and to be taken seriously with the right to physical and psychological well-being and the development of their own personality. What is also special about our association is that we have three cooks who prepare a fresh lunch and snacks for the children every day. The ESC volunteers will initially be a part of the "Aventureros" group, which is the pre-school area of the organisation that was opened in 2016. Here, 25 children are cared for in two groups and specifically prepared for their later school attendance. The more homogeneous age structure allows more extensive excursions and more specialised preschool education activities. The kindergarten opens at 8 am in the morning and closes at 4 pm in the afternoon.
