Parent-Child-Centres

Eltern-Kind-Zentrum

Many day-care centres of the Elbkinder also include a ‘Parent-Child-Centre’. These are meeting points for parents with small or slightly older children who do not receive regular day-care yet. A day-care centre voucher (Kita-Gutschein) is not required, you can just stop by! Admission is free!

At the parent-child-centres, you can meet up with other young parents, share experiences and chat over a cup of coffee or prepare lunch together. At every parent-child-centre, experienced pedagogues are always available to give you advice on upbringing issues, such as: My baby is not crawling yet – when is it supposed to be able to do that? Is it OK for the baby to sleep in the parents’ bed? When do I start feeding solid food?


Every parent-child-centre has individual opening hours and cooperates with different partners: It could be the midwife or the alternative practitioner of the neighbourhood, or the sports club where parents and children can do baby swimming courses together. Some parent-child-centres also offer German language courses.

The range of offers of our parent-child-centres is colourful and varied! Children and parents can also enjoy a reasonably priced lunch.

With the help of the Day-Care Centre Finder you can find the parent-child-centres of the Elbkinder – perhaps even in your neighburhood. This logo indicates a parent-child-centre at the day-care centre:

Schon als Jugendlicher stand für mich fest: Ich werde später Erzieher! Dass ich als Mann den Beruf ergriffen habe löst zum Glück fast keine Nachfragen aus. Es wird einfach immer normaler. Bei den Elbkindern zu arbeiten war anfangs Zufall. Aber das war die richtige Entscheidung: Ich habe Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bekommen und in der eigenen Gruppe kann ich viel struktu-rieren und umsetzen.
