Our vocational language course with a focus on early childhood education is designed for educational professionals and those interested in working in daycare centers or other early childhood institutions, either now or in the future.

In this course, you will acquire practical German language skills needed in your daily professional life – from specialized vocabulary and parent-teacher communication to documentation and teamwork.
