Kindergarten
Most children in Germany go to a kindergarten between the ages of three and six, although it is not
compulsory. The law guarantees a place for every child, however finding vacancies in a
kindergarten can be difficult. Therefore, flexibility may be required when choosing a kindergarten. It
may not be possible to send one’s child to the nearest kindergarten. Children can usually attend
half-day or all day.
