FAQ

A Großtagespflege in Germany is an educational childcare system for children from nine weeks up to 14 years of age. In this form of care, two to three teachers/educators and qualified Tagesmutter registered with the Youth Welfare Office typically work together to care for up to ten children. Each Großtagespflege is professionally supervised and monitored by the Munich Youth Welfare Office. 

The service is cost-effective for parents, as childcare fees are subsidized through youth welfare funding.

The Großtagespflege follows the Bavarian Education and Upbringing Plan as well as the Munich Quality Standards. On this basis, childcare is provided according to a carefully developed organisational and educational concept that is coordinated with the Youth Welfare Office. The educational content is delivered in accordance with the requirements of the Bavarian Education and Upbringing Plan.

Apple Kid is a Großtagespflege with 3 branches all at the same address, i.e. Landsbergerstr 125, 80339 München.

To enrol a child in a Großtagespflege, parents must follow a structured process coordinated jointly between Apple Kid Großtagespflege and the Munich Youth Welfare Office (Stadtjugendamt). 

The first step is to contact Apple Kid Großtagespflege via our free, non-binding online registration form available on this website (Registration) to express your interest in enrolling your child. Following this, Apple Kid will reach out to schedule an initial visit, facility tour and an introductory meeting. Throughout the process, we provide guidance and support in completing the Jugendamt application, submitting the required forms, and obtaining the necessary approval to begin care. 

Please note that the approval process may take approximately 2–3 weeks.

Apple Kid Großtagespflege is subsidised by Jugendamt and Wirtschaftliche Jugendhilfe. As such the fee is shockingly low for parents.

Apple Kid 1: 79 Euros/month

Apple Kid 2: 58 Euros/month

Apple Kid 3: 90 Euros/month plus 210 Euros/month

Apple Kid has three Großtagespflege in München and all are at the same places. Each Großtagespflege caters to a different age group within different booking slots:

Apple Kid 1: Kindergarten Group for children from 2.5-6 years of age from 8.00-16.00 pm.

Apple Kid 2: Nursery Group for children from 1-3 years of age from 8.30-14.30 pm.

Apple Kid 3: Mixed Age group for children from 1-6 years of age from 8.00 - 16.15 pm.

Groups are usually assigned according to the age of your child or your requirement of care-hours.

Apple Kid follows Berliner Method of integration. The child is introduced to his new atmosphere in the company of his parent and encouraged to explore and widen his comfort zone till he feels comfortable with the teacher and other children. 

Separation from parent is tried very gently and briefly if the child feels comfortable.
For a happy child and a successful tearless integration it is very important that you do not rush the separation. 

Since each child is different each integration is also different. Teachers at Apple Kid strive to tailor your child's integration plan uniquely according to his unique individual needs and personality. 

No worries! Every child integrates differently. Some sooner, some later. That's why individual tailor-made integration is so necessary. In case of separation anxiety you child will be given more time and of course he will be assisted in feeling more comfortable so that separation stops being a problem for him.

Before starting you will be given a list of following things that your child will be needing in his group. Please note: the list may have other articles not mentioned in this list.

several change of clothes

Every child is allowed to bring his one favorite plush toy, favourite toy or one favourite book from home everyday to his group; it helps him feel cosy and safe in new surroundings and he learns how to be responsible for it.

Apple Kid 1 is bilingual offering German and English both.

Of course! Children are gifted with unique ability to learn languages that helps them grasp words, sentence structures, pronunciations and meanings fluidly. Even if your child does not speak any of the two languages offered, you will notice he has already started brining home both the languages within a very short time.

Apple Kid offers many opportunities of learning about your child's progress. First meeting prior to starting in the group, three months after finishing the integration phase, and every six months after this until the child is six years old and has obtained registration in elementary school. Apart from this, you are welcome to talk to the teacher by making an appointment or without an appointment in case of urgent/ pressing matters.

Giving and getting feedbacks is our priority.

Yes. Once every week when your child turns 5.

No worries. Some children are vegetarian, some are lactose intolerant. While enrolling, you will be asked to provide us with this information in detail. While preparing meals we make sure to include the individual needs of the children.
Other than that, please do not send any eatables containing nuts. Your own child may not be allergic but another's child may.

Please get in touch with the staff and let them know. You will be required to sign a consent letter and then leave the rest to us.
