With a click of the mouse to the day care center in Augsburg

The city of Augsburg has created a new online portal for those looking for a place in a day care centre. It should give an overview to the parents as well as make possible inquiries and reservations. The portal can be accessed at www.kitaplaner.de.

Children can be registered at many nurseries and day care centers through the portal. Parents can also set their own priorities. In another step, it will be possible later to enroll the children in a day care home.
