How to search for and find a childcare place
Are you looking for a childcare place for your child? Here you will find the most important information and helpful addresses regarding childcare in Frankfurt am Main.
For years, the City of Frankfurt am Main has been working closely with various providers (municipal children's centres, denominational providers such as churches and religious communities, associations and parents' initiatives) to offer a comprehensive, diverse and high-quality range of education, care and upbringing for children of all ages.
There are currently over 54,000 childcare places available. Most of these are in over 870 day care centres. The portal kindernetfrankfurt.deExternal Link provides an overview and enables precise searches and online reservations for all city-funded childcare services.
Additionally, the City Education Authority (“Stadtschulamt”) qualifies and supports over 550 day carers who look particularly after the ‘little ones’ as day families. On top of this, crèches, kindergartens, after-school care centres, “Schülerläden” (schoolchildren’s centres) and extended school childcare centres offer a wide range of childcare and educational services.
You can find out about childcare options for children aged 0 to 12 years at the “Infobörse Kindertagesbetreuung”Internal Link (childcare information centre) by telephone, in person or by e-mail.
