Finally, Time for Education.
Kita am Gleis | MAHALO gGmbH
Start: Immediately | Fixed-term until 31 December 2026 | Possibility of Extension
Did you become an early childhood educator because you love supporting children, exploring their ideas, and discovering the world together?
Do you enjoy developing projects, building dens, exploring the Gleispark, reading stories, experimenting, making music, cooking, crafting, or simply going on adventures with children?
Then this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
We are looking for a dedicated Early Childhood Educator to join our team at Kita am Gleis for 30 hours per week until the end of 2026. We are seeking someone who wants to contribute their strengths where they matter most: in meaningful everyday interactions with children.
What Makes This Position Special
This fixed-term role gives you the opportunity to focus on what many educators enjoy most: spending quality time with children and creating inspiring educational experiences.
As you will be joining our team as additional support, you will not be expected to take primary responsibility for the core administrative and organizational duties typically assigned to a key educator, such as:
- leading children’s settling-in (transition) processes
- maintaining children’s language learning portfolios/documentation
- taking the lead in ongoing parent communication and family partnerships
Instead, your focus will be on being present with the children, supporting their learning, and enriching everyday life in the classroom.
What You Can Expect
We are MAHALO gGmbH.
We see children as capable, competent individuals, meet them with respect, and create learning environments shaped by participation, diversity, sustainability, and mutual appreciation. Our team values open communication, interdisciplinary collaboration, and continuous professional growth.
With us, you’ll enjoy:
- A meaningful role with plenty of time for educational work with children
- Freedom to develop your own ideas, projects, and creative learning experiences
- A committed, warm, and multidisciplinary team
- Regular professional development and training opportunities
- Supervision and coaching
- Weekly team meetings
- Dedicated planning and preparation time
- 31 days of annual leave
- Additional paid bridge days, as well as paid leave on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve (according to company policy)
- Additional vacation days based on length of service
- Fresh organic meals
- A BVG public transport ticket, a €50 monthly gift voucher, Urban Sports Club membership, or bicycle leasing
- Modern facilities located directly next to Gleispark
- Competitive salary by agreement
What You Bring
- A recognized qualification as an Early Childhood Educator (state-certified in Germany) or an equivalent recognized qualification in early childhood or educational practice
- A genuine passion for supporting children’s learning and development
- Creativity, initiative, and enthusiasm for designing your own projects
- A respectful, strengths-based, and child-centered approach
- Openness to teamwork, reflection, and continuous learning
- A commitment to an educational philosophy that embraces participation, diversity, and inclusion as everyday practice
