You are looking for care for your child

There are many reasons for children to go to after-school care, for example. Both parents might be working. Parents do not want their children to be on their own too much. There are care services for younger and older children. Childcare settings bring children together with other children.

Here you will find information on the following:

• What childcare can I get?
• How do I register for a childcare place?
• How do I get financial support?

Schools in Frankfurt also provide afternoon care. Some schools also have full-day programmes – in other words, classes in the afternoon as well. Would you like to register your child at a school? Then find out more from the City of Frankfurt am Main about what kind of childcare schools can offer. You will find an overview here.

How do I get financial support?

You can get money from the education and participation benefits (BuT), for example a subsidy for your child's lunch in a daycare setting. If your child attends an after-school care setting, you can apply for the cost of lunch from the Wirtschaftliche Jugendhilfe section of the responsible social welfare office (Sozialrathaus).
