rainbowtrekkers - a place where every shade of color is special
Respect of the child is the starting point of education.
Know yourself before you attempt to get to know children.
Become aware of what you yourself are capable of
before you attempt to outline the rights and responsibilities of children.
First and foremost you must realise that you, too, are a child,
whom you must first get to know
– Janusz Korczak (1878-1942) Pedagogue
Welcome at rainbowtrekkers! rainbowtrekkers Kita gGmbH is a Cologne-based non-profit provider of bilingual (English-German) day care centers and was founded in 2006.
We are convinced that a respectful attitude towards the child’s personality must be the starting point of all education.

What do others say about us
"That the (majority of) parents and children are as international and open minded as we are. The teachers are loving and really do know and also want to know my children (we have one child in every group: Peekaboos, Bumblebees (Snugglebugs) and Butterflies (Snugglebug)). It is a joy to talk to them and also to enter the Kindergarten. It is even so nice, that we have a hard time leaving during pickup time!! (And that's meant in a very good way!)“Kundenstimme 2
