Holiday childcare programme

Dear parents, dear children,

While a lot of children can barely wait for the holidays, it can be more of a challenge for parents.

How can you juggle working or studying with family commitments if your daycare facilities, school and after-school club are closed?

Holidays? Take them in your stride with us by your side!

The Family Service offers reliable childcare in most of the school holidays. The holiday childcare programme is available to children of staff and students at FAU and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen

Holidays are boooring….. Not with us!

An exciting time for all is guaranteed with a varied mixture of sporting and creative activities, fun outside, trips, and various workshops, for instance a circus or film workshop. Thanks to our KinderUni partnerships, children can gain insights tailored to their age and stage into a wide range of different educational subjects, for instance nature, mathematics and technology (e.g. 3D printing and Lego Mind Storms), the arts (e.g. theater and art projects), Earth and the environment (e.g. visiting the Botanical and Scented Gardens in Erlangen), health (e.g. self-defense and dance) or languages (e.g. LEOlingo).
