What does a day look like?

In the morning the children arrive. The older children (3 to 6 years) have breakfast one after another from about 8:30, the younger ones together at 9:00. After that there is free play and different activities. At 11:30 everyone has lunch together. Afterwards the children can rest, play and join other activities. When you pick up your child depends on the care time.

How much does a place cost?

The place itself is free for parents thanks to funding from the City of Vienna. The condition is that your child and one parent have their main residence in Vienna. You pay for food, based on the meals your child has. There is also a one-off registration fee per family. A discount for siblings is possible. We are happy to tell you the exact amount in person when you visit us. For families on a low income, the City of Vienna contributes up to 99.49 euros a month towards meals.

Are there free places?

Yes. There are free places at all our locations at the moment. We take children all year round, you do not have to wait for the autumn.

From what age can my child come?

We take children from about 1 to 6 years old. Admission is ongoing, all year round.

How long does settling in take?

As long as your child needs. There is no fixed length. Your child gets to know the rooms, the staff and the daily routine in peace. We support this with care and go at your child’s pace.

How big are the groups?

On Ottakringer Straße there are 5 groups: 2 groups for children under 3, each with 15 children and 3 carers, and 3 kindergarten groups with up to 25 children and 2 carers.

You bring the nappies yourself. Bed linen and towels are provided by the kindergarten. Your child can have a nap after lunch if they need one.

Which languages does the team on Ottakringer Straße speak?

In our team we speak German, English, Turkish, Arabic, Romanian, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian. This means we can speak with many families in their own language too.

How does my child learn German?

In everyday life: by talking, with picture books, songs, rhymes, games and activities together. If your child needs more support, we work with them in a small group. We also work with a language support teacher from the City of Vienna.

Do you also take children who need extra support?

Yes, we also care for children who need extra support. Based on reports and targeted observation of your child, we draw up a participation plan to include your child in everyday kindergarten life and support them as well as possible.

No. We take allergies and food intolerances into account. Tell us when you register what we need to look out for.

Is the kindergarten open in summer?
