Welcome page. Partnership and Children. Many fathers and mothers continue working after their child is born.
For this reason there are special childcare options in Canton Aargau. Most of them charge a fee. Children are supervised throughout the day at day-care centres Kinderkrippen.
Most offers are for children from three months of age until school age. Some day-care centres do supervise school age children before and after school and at lunchtime. Waiting lists are long and parents must enroll their children early.
Costs vary and some communities help pay for them. The day-care centres or the communities have additional information on enrollment and costs. Many children attend playgroups Spielgruppe before they reach school age.
In these playgroups children over the age of approximately 3 meet without their parents to play, do crafts, etc. Particularly for children who do not speak German at home the playgroup is a good opportunity to become exposed to the German language. This facilitates entering school. Costs vary and some communities help pay for playgroups. There are playgroups in almost all communities.
