The day care center is located in Karlsruhe and welcomes children aged 1 to 6, regardless of nationality or social background. It operates in German and French. The volunteer supports educators with daily activities, including role-playing, sports and arts, helps in the kitchen, accompanies children on excursions and can develop a personal project based on crafts, games or other activities. The volunteer will also participate in intercultural events, some taking place during evenings or weekends, and will have opportunities to organize their own activities. Accommodation is provided in a shared house with other ESC volunteers, with a private bedroom and shared common areas. The volunteer receives approximately €500 per month for pocket money and food, plus a card for free public transport throughout Germany during the project.
