The international child care center Curumim is a project of the Brazilian Women’s Initiative IMBRADIVA e.V. and has been located in Frankfurt-Bockenheim since its foundation in 2009. The nursery offers full day care (from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) for children between 10 months and 6 years old and is divided into three groups.

For children between 10 months and 3 years old, there are bilingual groups, one German-Portuguese and one German-English with 11 children each, and for children between 3 and 6 years old, a German-Portuguese kindergarten group, which caters for 20 children.

We pause our activities for a maximum of three weeks per year, usually two weeks during the summer vacations, one week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, as well as planning days.

The Curumim daycare center has rooms that are properly equipped and prepared so that children can explore environments, materials, games and play safely. The classrooms are spacious and well-lit, spread over approximately 464 m². A large playground and a courtyard are also available on ca. 312 m² for the children in the outdoor area. Our facilities are centrally located and easily accessible.

The Name Curumim

The international child care center bears the name “Curumim”, which comes from the indigenous Tupi-Guarani language and means “boy/child”.

Pedagogical Concept

Our pedagogical project is based on multilingual, intercultural and affectionate education, in which high-quality care is a priority. Diversity and sustainability also play a very important role in our daily lives, which is why we are committed to creating a nursery with a zero-waste, anti-racist policy that deconstructs all forms of prejudice. For more details, click here.
