Focus on families
For most people, the family is the center of their lives and a source of support. But of course not everything is "sunshine and roses": time pressure, the tension between family and career, financial challenges, new family constellations, omnipresent media and their effects - these can also mean family. This is where the fragile web of "family" sometimes reaches its limits.

How does the start in child day care work? What does a gentle, participatory settling-in process mean - and why is it so important for children? On this themed evening, parents of children under the age of three in the city of Aachen in particular are invited to get to know child day care as an independent, child-friendly and family-oriented form of care. Parents will gain an insight into the gentle settling-in process and learn how bonding, trust and co-determination are practised right from the start.
