Request education in a day group
Performance specification
Education in a day group is particularly suitable for children of school age and above who exhibit behavioural problems or developmental delays. This is a type of child-raising assistance to which custodians are entitled if the child's welfare cannot be guaranteed and the assistance is suitable and necessary for the child's development. It may also be suitable for young adults in accordance with Section 41 SGB VIII.
A day group is a so-called day-care centre. Your child will be looked after in a day group during the week during the day after school. Afterwards, however, they can stay with their family and thus in their familiar surroundings.

- It learns how to deal with other children and conflicts in a group
- It learns how to organise its everyday life and receives suggestions for meaningful leisure activities.
- Parents are intensively involved, for example through counselling sessions, parents' evenings or parent-child meetings.
The aims of education in a day group are
- to strengthen the child
