Childcare

Nurseries for children > 3 years

Leading by example in the Saarland are the Regional Association of Saarbrücken and the Saarpfalz District, whose joint database includes 445 facilities for the pre-school and after-school sector. This includes a growing number of nursery places for children under three years. Here, as everywhere in the region, flexible opening hours permit care facilities, families and companies to cope. Nevertheless if a bottleneck arises then facilities like the Saarbrücken/Völklingen child care exchange are a great help in finding childminders.

Early support for children

Support talent, offset deficit

In general, it is important to support children in their development as early as possible: whether it is to recognise special talents early or to compensate for any shortcomings. Language training focuses on the promotion of the native language or learning the national language. The Saarland also focuses on the acquisition of French skills from an early age. In its French strategy, the Saarland Regional Government has laid strong foundations to take advantage of the great opportunities that the proximity to the border brings.
