Day

Month
Year
This is typically when your child turns 1 or the following August, when most kitas accept new children (spots at other times of the year open up on short notice. ex. when a child moves away). Before the age of 1, you must prove that neither parent is able to care for the child due to full-time occupation. Your desired start date should be the earliest you could start or would be eligible to attend kita. You can accept offers for kita spots starting any time after this date but you will have to resubmit the Kita-Gutschein application to start earlier.
Number of hours per day
*
4-5 hours: half-time for children under 1 year (uncommon, must prove the need)
5-7 hours: part-time (common, all children over 1 year are eligible)
7-9 hours: full-time (common, must prove the need, preferred by many parent-initiative kitas)
9+ hours: extended (uncommon, must prove the need)
