To make it easier for students and examination supervisors to take part in Saturday exams, the Department of Equal Opportunity and Diversity and kinderlandnet gGmbH have launched a new childcare service. On the four Saturdays, on which examinations will take place, (8 June, 15 June, 24 August and 31 August), Kinderlandnet will provide professional care for children between one and six years of age. The offer is free of charge for parents.
Childcare will be available between 7.30 a.m. and 6 p.m. at Kindernest-City, Rheinhäuserstraße 22, 68161 Mannheim. The childcare follows the Reggio concept, which offers children plenty of opportunities for free play outside and creative development inside. Snacks are provided on site. If your child has special dietary needs (e.g., lactose-free food), the food should be provided by the parents.
If you are in need of childcare, please contact Natalie Rose at natalie.rose at least ten days before the respective examination date. Please copy the following declaration of consent into your e-mail: uni-mannheim.de
