Dates to remember and holidays Visiting dates Several times a year, we offer parents the opportunity to visit the kindergartens during a viewing appointment and to get to know the educators as well as to ask all questions about the concept and financial and practical aspects. Of course you are welcome to bring your children to this date. It is not necessary to register for this, but for organisational reasons we ask you to be punctual during the opening hours mentioned. Latest news on this: Due to the Corona crisis we do not conduct group tours at the moment. If you would like to make an appointment, please send an e-mail to sarah.lantry@dai-heidelberg.de indicating which house you are interested in.
