That's what it's all about

Many things should become easier for you as a citizen.
You will soon be able to do these things digitally.

For example, with your cell phone.
This is also the case at the nursery.
You need a special app for this.
An app is a small computer program.

You can download the app to your cell phone.
The app is called: Kita-Kompass.

The app provides you with important information from the daycare center.
For example, letters to parents.
Or you can notify the daycare center
if your child is ill.


The daycare center compass

The city of Aachen made the app especially for the daycare centers in Aachen.
3 daycare centers tried out the Kita-Kompass for a while.
The Kita-Kompass worked well.
That's why all daycare centers now work with the Kita-Kompass.

    1. childcare
    This can happen, for example:
    You are ill and therefore need
    more care for your child.
    Perhaps your child can then go to
    with other parents.
    You can organize this with the
    Kita-Kompass.

    2. information and communication
    Here you will receive important information from the daycare center.
    For example:

    • How the daycare center works.
    • Letters to parents
    • Information about appointments and events.
      For example, about a party.
      You can save the appointments directly in your calendar.
      This is very practical.

    The daycare center can also use the app to conduct surveys.
    For example,
    whether you enjoyed a party.

    There is a tablet for the educators in every daycare center group.

    A tablet is a small computer.
    The daycare center compass is on this tablet.

    Use the chat in the daycare center compass.
    A chat is a conversation on the Internet.

    to the educator.

    QR code for registration.
    It's pronounced like this: Ku-Är-Kod.
