On November 5, 2025, the 14th Day of the Preschool Child will take place in the auditorium of the "Erich Kästner" elementary school from 4:00 p.m.

The event is aimed specifically at parents. Childcare will be provided by the elementary school's after-school care center. The cost contribution for this is 4.00 euros/child.

For the day of action, various experts have been recruited who have many years of experience with preschool children and will also answer individual questions after the workshops.
