Apply for vacation care at all-day elementary school

Your child attends an all-day elementary school in the city of Bremen and you would like to register your child for vacation care at the school. Registration is necessary for this.

  • Basic information

    The open and tied all-day elementary school in the municipality of Bremen offer vacation care for a fee. Vacation care takes place during the Easter vacations, the fall vacations, the Christmas vacations from January 2 until the start of classes and up to 3 weeks during the summer vacations.

    Registration for vacation care is voluntary.

    By registering, parents/guardians commit to their child's participation for one calendar year. In order to be able to plan requirements, the child must be registered at the school by January 31st for the entire calendar year.

    Requirements

    Only all-day pupils of the respective all-day school whose single parent or both parents or guardians are employed during the respective vacations or during the respective school year or are in training or retraining and are therefore regularly absent during the care period can be registered for vacation care.

    In order for your child to take part in the vacation care, you must transfer the cost contribution at least 6 weeks before the respective vacation.

  • Procedure

    • If your child’s school is an all-day school, you will receive an initial informational letter about vacation care at the start of the school year. 
    • If you would like to register your child for the fee-based vacation care program, please contact the school office at the beginning of January.
    • You’ll receive the application form there. Once you’ve filled it out, return it to the school office.
    • Submit the required documents. 
    • The school office will add your child to a list that will be forwarded to the appropriate agency.
    • If your child has been assigned a spot in the vacation care program, you will be notified in writing. The letter will also include important information regarding payment of the fee. Payment of the fee for the holiday care program must be received no later than 6 weeks before the start of the holidays. If the fee is not paid by the deadline, your child will lose their spot in the holiday care program.
    • Withdrawals from the vacation care program must be reported to the school well in advance of the start of the vacation. If your child does not attend the program and you have not withdrawn them in a timely manner before the start of the vacation, a refund of the fee paid is generally not possible.
