Apply for a daycare integration place

If your child has a disability or is at risk of becoming disabled, you can apply for an integration place in a daycare center

  •  

Detailed description

An integration place in a daycare center is a place for a child who needs special support. The goal is for the child to play, learn, and develop together with other children in a group setting. They receive individualized support to ensure they can integrate smoothly into everyday life at the daycare center.

If your child has a disability or is at risk of developing a disability, you may be entitled to childcare and early intervention at a daycare center in Hamburg. This will be at least six hours per day.
