Childcare in transitional periods

What do you do if the semester starts in October, but the daycare place for the child doesn't start until December? Or the new job starts in June, but the kindergarten year does not begin until August?

For such "regular transitional cases", we have developed the childcare in transitional periods as a new care offer for our employees and students as a supplement to the day care centres and emergency care. The in transitional periods is intended to enable parents to return to their studies or jobs, even if they have not yet found long-term regular childcare.

In the childcare in transitional periods, children from eight weeks to 12 years of age are taken care of by pedagogical specialists with full board. The care is approved for six months. During this time, the care times can be flexibly coordinated, whereby the parents commit themselves here for at least one month. A maximum of 3 care days per week is possible. During the summer holidays in Rhineland-Palatinate, an increase to five days per week is possible by arrangement for up to four weeks.

Please also note, that there is an own contribution to pay for every day of childcare in transitional periods. Students have to pay the fixed sum of 15 Euro per day, employees pay 25 Euro per day (tax included).

The childcare takes place at the back-up institution of pme Familienservice GmbH near Mainz main station:

3K – Kinder, Kunst, Kultur
Münsterstraße 25
55116 Mainz

f you would like to use the transitional care, you are welcome to visit the facility together with your child on the regular taster days. Please register for the taster day by e-mail (with the subject "Übergangsbetreuung" and your telephone number).
