DESY encourages the balance between work at DESY and private life, and puts into practice equal opportunities and compatibility of family and job. An important step to achieve this is to provide a family service offer.

The kindergarten located on the DESY campus is a publicaly supported day care in open association. It can accommodate a total of 120 children and is managed by “Kinderwelt Hamburg e.V”.

It offers full-day care at nursery and elementary level. Opening hours are Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Within the frame of possibilities, an emergency care service is also available; however, if possible, parents should inform the kindergarten in good time about their requirements. You will find more information on the concept and pedagogics of the kindergarten on the Kinderwelt Hamburg e.V. homepage (in German).

Interested parents are asked to register their child at an early stage.
