In our bilingual German-English daycare center, there are equal numbers of children in each group who are growing up speaking German, English or two languages.
Many international children attend the daycare center, so volunteers who speak German, English, Persian, Turkish, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Polish or Hungarian as their mother tongue are very welcome.
The "Reading aloud with volunteers" program is aimed specifically at children aged 3 to 6.
