Multilingual Education with Heart
Are you looking for more than just play and care for your child? A multilingual daycare in Cologne & surrounding areas that offers guidance, values, and a strong foundation?
At rainbowtrekkers, your child grows up in an environment that combines security with openness. Our daycares in Cologne and Bergheim stand for practiced multilingualism, clear structures, and an appreciative attitude – quality you can rely on every day.
Your child experiences security and inspiration – exploring curiously, forging their own path, and growing step by step. Our multilingual environment strengthens communication, self-confidence, and open-mindedness – for strong roots and open wings.
Languages Open Worlds
Multilingual Daycare Cologne – that means: With us, children playfully grow up with multiple languages. German, English, and family languages are part of everyday life – thus, language becomes the key to curiosity, openness, and self-confidence.
Family-Oriented & Quality-Focused
An African proverb says: “It takes a village to raise a child.” The rainbowtrekkers create such a “village”: a place where children grow up in closeness, respect, and multilingualism and families find support. Regular quality checks and clear standards ensure that your child receives the best possible support.
Eating with All Senses
We serve balanced, child-friendly meals according to the recommendations of the Research Institute for Child Nutrition (FKE) at the University of Bonn. Fresh ingredients, plenty of vegetables, and a vegetarian option make healthy eating a natural part of everyday life.
Diversity Empowers
We live respect, openness, and cohesion. Every child is allowed to be unique and experiences a community that values differences – a true home in Cologne and surrounding areas, open to the whole world.
Inclusion
Every child is welcome here – regardless of language, origin, or special needs. We create an environment where every child is part of the community and can develop freely.
Family Center & Community
Rainbowtrekkers is more than a daycare: In our family centers, connections, exchange, and support emerge. Thus, children grow not only in daycare but also within a vibrant network of families and friendships.
What does our name "Rainbowtrekkers" actually mean?
The name combines two ideas that shape our work: “Rainbow” stands for diversity – for children, families, and staff from many cultures, languages, and walks of life. “Trekkers” comes from the English word ‘trekking’ and symbolizes movement and development: We understand education as a shared journey on which children discover the world and grow step by step.

Multilingual from the Start
Are you looking for a multilingual daycare in Cologne and surrounding areas? With us, language is lived, not taught.
Our multilingual daycares in Cologne and surrounding areas accompany children in an environment where German, English, and many other family languages are natural. Through daily immersion in various languages, they develop a keen sense of language, openness, and joy in expression.
Our educators are multilingual themselves and demonstrate how enriching language can be. Thus, multilingualism becomes something natural for children – and a strength that accompanies them throughout their lives.
Our Mission Statement: Growing Together
We accompany children on their journey to curiously discover the world – with heart, attitude, and a clear understanding of values.
Our multilingual daycares stand for an educational approach that sees each child in their uniqueness. We foster self-confidence, openness, and social competence – and create spaces where children feel secure and, at the same time, encouraged to try new things.
Values such as respect, empathy, and cohesion shape our daily life. We understand diversity not as a concept, but as a lived reality. Through continuous quality assurance, regular parent and staff surveys, and team exchange, we ensure that our educational work constantly grows – just like the children we accompany.
FAQ – Multilingual Daycare Cologne
Would you like to learn more about our multilingual daycares in Cologne and surrounding areas? Here you will find answers to some of the questions parents most frequently ask.
From what age can my child start at rainbowtrekkers?
We care for children from one year old until they start school. The settling-in process is individual and in close consultation with parents.
Which languages are spoken in the daycares?
Multilingual Daycare Cologne – for us, that means: languages are a natural part of everyday life. Children experience German and English equally – many family languages are naturally integrated. Through this multilingual environment, they playfully learn to express themselves, listen, and discover the world with open ears.
What does a typical day at daycare look like?
The daily routine in our daycares follows a clear rhythm that provides children with security and orientation – and at the same time, allows plenty of space for play, movement, and discovery. After a shared drop-off and breakfast time, we start the day with morning circles. Children play, paint, build, make music, or explore outdoors – each child finds their own approach.
At lunchtime, we eat together, followed by rest or nap times, before there’s more time in the afternoon for free play, projects, or garden adventures.
You can find out exactly how the day unfolds at our locations on the respective detailed pages of the daycare locations.
How do you ensure educational quality?
Our work is regularly reviewed internally and externally. Through further training, parent surveys, and team reflection, we continuously develop our quality. We place great importance on openness and accountability: As a member of the Transparent Civil Society Initiative, we make our structures, goals, and finances public – because true quality requires trust and transparency.
