Resumo: (kindergarten)
The kindergarten it is open to the children of students and university employees. It is located in a quiet and green neighbourhood, surrounded by several parks. The kindergarten has one toddler group (1-3 year old children) and two family groups (2-6 year old children), in each group there are two teachers and one assistant. An employed cook prepares fresh and mainly organic food for the children and staff every day (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack).

Additionally, our members – the children’s parents – are actively involved in the kindergarten, they care about all administrative duties and join special days or excursions as extra support for the staff.
The kindergarten is financed by subsidies from the city, a membership fee, the University, the ÖH (student Union) and special charity events to increase the budget.

In total, 55 children between one and six years visit the kindergarten.
The pedagogy of the kindergarten is based on the situational approach. The kindergarten teachers offer activities according to the needs of the children, such as creativity and sports (indoors and outdoors) and pay attention to an appreciative functioning of the community as well as to individual needs.

Perfil: Age: 18-30
As a volunteer, we would like a person who really enjoys spending time with children. You should be interested in children’s development and behaviour. It would be nice if you are creative and willing to bring in your ideas. Additionally, it´s an advantage if you are an open-mined and flexible person. No skills or prior knowledge is required,
however, it would be of advantage if you have basic knowledge of English (or German) to be able to communicate with the team, and if you are motivated to learn/improve your German during your volunteering.

Tarefas: As a volunteer, we would like you to be present about 31 hours per week per week.
The opening hours of the kindergarten are Monday – Thursday 7:45 to 17:15 and Friday 7:45 – 15:30. You will have your breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack with the children. Additionally, there are regular planning meetings with your mentor (one of the parents) and the teachers. Following activities are a fixed part of the programme
and vary according to the group size:
 Creative activities like painting, handcraft, drawing etc.
 Sports or movement in general is also part of the programme: The kindergarten has a garden and an indoor exercise room where there are many opportunities for sports and games; there are many parks near the kindergarten and as many times as possible the groups visit them. Furthermore, excursions to the Vienna Woods, to museums or theatres are
organised. In summer the older ones also go swimming.
 Themes: Many activities are also organised according to themes and seasons: Christmas, Easter, Autumn etc. But as well other themes that are of interest for the children are subject of special projects.
 Events: There are small events throughout the year to which the volunteers are invited and warmly welcome. For example, the lantern festival or the Summer Party, which are organised as common activities of children, parents and staff.
They usually place in the park and parents, children and employees are invited. It’s a saying “good bye” to the past kindergarten year before the kindergarten closes for its summer holidays. A Christmas party and a summer dinner are
organized for the staff.

As a volunteer, we would like you to give input to all these activities:
 For example, play a typical game from your home country
 Teach us songs or rhymes in your language
 Prepare a special project week about your home country
 Prepare typical food from your home country
 Feel free to think of anything that could fit in with regard to your personal talents and interests

Such activities will be planned with the teachers, but you will also participate during the regular activities. Additionally, just like the other staff, the teachers and parents, will help to clean the rooms and do some laundry (not too much!).
