You plan age-appropriate lessons according to Curriculum 21 and carry them out together with the team. Individual educational and support plans, which you create, serve as the basis for your teaching.

Administrative tasks such as maintaining the children's files and preparing reports are also part of your responsibilities. In addition, you conduct progress meetings, participate in working groups, and help organize special weeks.

You enjoy working with a committed team and contributing to a trusting and supportive atmosphere.
