Good reasons for choosing Elbkinder

  • Every child is welcome!

    We care for children from 8 weeks old to those about to start school. Around 100 of our Elbkinder daycare centers offer integration places for children with disabilities. We empathically encourage all children in their development and support them in participating in the community.

  • A gentle start

    We want you and your child to have a good start with us. During the settlingin period, you and your child will begin this new phase together and get to know everything: the daycare center, the daily routine, the other children, and our team. Only when your child feels safe with us will they stay at the daycare center without you.

  • Daycare centers that feel like home

    Our daycare centers are large but family-like, and most have large, nature-rich outdoor areas that invite children to play and move around.

  • Our educational program is diverse

    The children encounter opportunities and activities that encourage them to play, talk, and learn, as well as a stimulating environment, both indoors and outdoors. We encourage children to embrace discovery and prepare them for the “daycare bridge year” to Grade 1.

  • We cook fresh and delicious meals every day

    In our own kitchens, our catering and housekeeping teams prepare healthy food for our children every day. Our daycare lunches have been recognized for their outstanding quality, receiving the FIT KID certificate from the German Nutrition Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung e.V.).

  • We are here for you

    Whether we’re next door to you or on your way to work, you’ll find us right across Hamburg. Our daycare centers are staffed with dedicated teams of educational and therapeutic professionals as well as catering and housekeeping personnel.

  • Long opening hours

    Elbkinder daycare centers are generally open Monday to Thursday from 6 am to 6 pm and Fridays from 6 am to 5 pm. Our daycare centers have a maximum of 17 closing days per year and remain open in summer.

  • We are a nonprofit organisation with a long tradition

    Elbkinder is a company of the City of Hamburg with more than 7,000 employees and over 100 years of history. As the city’s largest daycare provider, we offer education and care to over 32,000 children at around 220 daycare and elementary schools in and around Hamburg.
