Dates to remember and holidays Visiting dates Several times a year, we offer parents the opportunity to visit the kindergartens, meet the caregivers and ask questions about the concept as well as financial and practical aspects. Of course you can bring your children along, too. Registration is not required, but we ask you to be on time for organizational reasons.

Holidays Our kindergartens, and all other municipal kindergartens, have 26 closing days spread over three weeks of summer holidays, about two weeks of Christmas holidays, some long weekends and two “teacher work days”.
