Childcare

Our childcare creates a loving and protected space for the children of our participants and supports them in their language development from an early age.

Team K5 childcare

«My work at K5 has a lot variety. I love the contact with parents, the children’s smiling faces, and the challenge of boosting their self-confidence and unlocking their joy of learning–all this comes with my job as a language development professional. In my role as Director of Childcare, I find the organisational work with different groups and people interesting. It shows that every day brings new encounters...»

Barbara Binz (Head of Childcare)
