Who is this program for?

Children aged one to four and their parents 

• with refugee backgrounds 
• families who have recently moved here from abroad,
• who are unfamiliar with the daycare system and have little to no knowledge of existing educational programs    

What is the goal?

• The “Kita Einstieg” program prepares children and parents for the standard daycare program so that they can settle in well at the daycare center.
• Through this program, children and parents will become familiar with routines, structures, and rules modeled after those of a daycare center. 
• Families receive extensive information on parenting, early childhood development, and health, as well as support with a wide range of questions

What should participating parents know?

• The program typically takes place three times a week for about three hours (in the morning or afternoon) at an Anker daycare center and is led by an early childhood educator and a parent educator. 
• Parents participate together with their children. Younger siblings are welcome to join.
• After three to six months of regular participation, the child receives a regular spot at a daycare center in Wiesbaden. The transition is supported.

How can parents and children be enrolled in the program?

• There are Anker daycare centers in various neighborhoods. For more information, please contact the Kita-Einstieg office, Department of Social Work, Division of Daycare Centers and Childcare.
