State recognition + recognised internship in Kindheitspädagogik
Students on the Childhood Education degree programme are awarded the title "State-recognised Childhood Educator" if they successfully complete the recognition internships in Early Childhood Education I + II. State recognition is mandatory if you want to work as a childhood educator in a state institution, such as a municipal daycare centre. In addition, many independent organisations also require state recognition for employment as a childhood educator. We therefore recommend that you complete the recognition internships and apply for state recognition.
