Child day care is a childcare service for children up to the age of 3. It is mainly provided by self-employed child day care workers. It takes place in small groups of up to 5 children. Child day care can take place in the child day care worker's home, in rented premises, or in the parents' home.

We support parents in finding places, applying for childcare subsidies, and covering costs. We are available to provide expert advice and offer information events.

We qualify childminders, issue care permits, and advise childminders. You can find out more about the current childcare options in the Mainz area at the childcare exchange of the state capital Mainz and the Catholic Family Education Center at www.kinderbetreuungmainz.de.
