Soon at home in Bergheim-Oberaußem
A place to arrive, discover, and feel good – right in the neighborhood.
In the course of 2027, our new Kita will open in Bergheim-Oberaußem – with space for 100 children in 6 groups. The two-story building is being constructed according to a sustainable concept with plenty of light and using natural wood – for warm rooms that strengthen children.
The location of the Kita in Bergheim-Oberaußem offers ideal conditions for nature and environmental education projects right on its doorstep. Community projects and festivals with parents, local clubs, and other organizations foster a strong sense of community. A particular focus is on dialogue between children and senior citizens – including as part of the “Generationenbrücke Deutschland” (Generations Bridge Germany).
What makes rainbowtrekkers special
Warmth, language, and structure – for an everyday life that feels good.
At rainbowtrekkers, children find a place where they feel safe and are allowed to discover new things. Clear routines provide support, and loving relationships create security.
Multilingualism is a matter of course: German and English in everyday life, family languages are welcome. We start gently with the settling-in period and stay in contact with you as parents. In play, in projects, and outdoors in the city, children learn every day – with their head, heart, and hands. Our
Multilingual from the Start
German and English are part of our everyday life – in stories, games, and songs. Children are welcome to bring their family languages and experience that language connects. This is how expressive power grows naturally, without pressure.
Settling In & Relationships
We start gently and as a team. Your child gets time, familiar rituals, and reliable caregivers. You as parents are actively involved – step by step, at the pace that is good for your child.
Learning in Everyday Life & Preschool
Discover, try out, ask questions – education happens with us in doing: in projects, in nature, with movement and music. Our preschool concept builds on this and creates a stable bridge to elementary school.
