The Daycare Center Forscherzwerge is located on the ground floor of a rented property, near metro station Stiglmaierplatz in Munich. You can easily reach the facility from TUM main campus by foot.
Facility
The facility has a spacious and bright common area which offers diverse playing opportunities. The wardrobe and kitchen are integrated in the common area but for safety reasons not accessible for children during the day. There is also a separate recreation room from which the shared backyard can be entered. Meals are provided in cooperation with a caterer.
Operator
In October 2023, Engel & Mahr GbR took over the operation of the Forscherzwerge daycare center. The new provider has many years of experience in the field of daycare and operates several daycare centers in the city of Munich. As a cooperation partner of the City Youth Welfare Office, it receives corresponding financial support. The operator hires the childcare staff, coordinates them and accompanies them pedagogically, takes care of the operation of the facility as well as the communication with the parents and the City Youth Welfare Office.
Childcare spots
In the Forscherzwerge daycare center, three caregivers (one pedagogical specialist and two childminders) look after a maximum of 10 children who are present at the same time. Each child is personally assigned to one of the caregivers, which is specified in the care contract. The target group is 0- to 3-years-old children of TUM employees. Full-time care places with 8-9 hours per day or part-time care places with 5-6 hours per day can be booked.
Concept
For detailed information about the facility, the concept (in German) is available here.
Closing days
There are a total of 30 closing days per calendar year.
