Child­ca­re for pre-scho­ol children

In Ger­many, chil­dren are not requ­i­red by law to attend a day care cen­tre (short: Kita). Howe­ver, it is stron­gly reco­m­men­ded as your child will learn the lan­gu­a­ge so much more qui­c­k­ly. You can find an over­vi­ew of child­ca­re faci­li­ti­es for chil­dren from 1 to 6 years on the Karl­sru­he Kita por­tal: https://kitaportal.karlsruhe.de/

Cur­ren­tly, you must pay a paren­tal con­tri­bu­tion if your child atten­ds a Kita. This con­tri­bu­tion depen­ds on your income.

Plea­se con­tact the Ser­vi­ces­te­l­le Kin­der­ta­ges­be­tre­uung (day care ser­vi­ce cen­tre) if you have any ques­tions abo­ut regis­te­ring your child in a Kita:
