Childcare
Children are happy when they can play with other children of the same age and quickly learn the language of their new home this way. Depending on the age of your children, the following child-care options exist:
- Crèches (run by cities, churches, associations and other private entities)
- In-home daycare providers, who usually care for other children as well
- Privately organised playgroups
- Kindergartens and preschools (run by cities, churches, associations and other private entities) with differing child-care services
- Daycare centres and nursery schools with mixed age groups
- All-day schools
- After-school centres
There is a great variety of offers for children under six years. You may get a first overview from the following sites, which refer to the bigger cities in the region.
Since each municipality organizes childcare itself, an individual solution must be found in individual cases. There are also limited place available in some facilities. Therefore early registration is required.
