Yes, that's the way it is intended. This optimizes the coordination among the kindergartens and increases the chance of finding a kindergarten place for one of your preferred kindergartens.
No. Your desired kindergartens can automatically see your pre-registrations.
No, this cannot be guaranteed. Kita PLACE is a pre-registration system, not a kindergarten assignment system. With the pre-registration, your child will be placed on the waiting list of the kindergartens you've selected. This is the basis for the annual assignment of the available kindergarten places. This is done by the kindergartens/their sponsors in accordance with the statutory provisions and the guidelines of the respective organisations.
The childcare places in the City of Duisburg are primarily available to families who live there. If you don't live in Duisburg at the time of pre-registration yet but intend to move there, you can indicate this in the pre-registration form.
Please contact the call centre of the City of Duisburg by phone on 0203 94000 or by e-mail via kitaplatz@stadt-duisburg.de.
All kindergartens and their sponsors with whom you have pre-registered and the persons responsible at the youth welfare office.
Kita PLACE is the central pre-registration system for the City of Duisburg, to which all of Duisburg's kindergartens are connected. It is the only way to pre-register a child for a place in a kindergarten in Duisburg.
With the kindergarten which provided you with the care offer.
Yes, provided you are already aware that your child has increasededucational needs, or this is suspected. This information helps to identify your child’s individual support needs at an early stage, and plan the appropriate care for them. You may submit any amendments or new information at any time.
Specialist documentation is required to assess whether or not there is a potential need for increased funding. These may include medical reports, statements from therapists or other professional assessments (such as a referral for diagnostic investigation). We will discuss with you which documents are required in each individual case.
Your child is considered to have special educational needs if they require additional support in their day-to-day life at the nursery due to a physical, intellectual, emotional, sensory or multiple disability. This is aimed at supporting your child’s development as effectively as possible and enabling them to take part in everyday life at the nursery.
If you have any questions in respect of inclusion, special educational needs or the necessary documentation, the City of Duisburg’s Inclusion Case Management team will be happy to help you.

We recommend that you get in touch with us as early as possible so that we can help you find a suitable care place and guide you through the next steps.
As a general rule, children with and without special educational needs should be looked after together in childcare centres. If childcare cannot be provided at your preferred nursery, for example due to architectural barriers, we will work with you to find an alternative solution.
No, as a general rule every child, whether or not they have special educational needs, has an equal chance of securing a place at a nursery. The information you make available will help us plan the most appropriate support for your child.
You can select up to eight kindergartens while pre-registering. It's recommended that you visit your preferred kindergartens to find out about the pedagogical concept before pre-registering.
After registering your account, you can log in again at any time using your e-mail address and the password you have chosen in order to view the pre-registrations you have entered or to change data. During the ongoing process of place allocation (which usually runs from mid-November to April), you may receive one or more offers from your preferred kindergartens, one of which you can accept.
No. All of the kindergartens you have selected consider your pre-registration to be of equal value, so it may happen that you receive several childcare offers, but you can only choose one of them. As soon as you have concluded a contract with a kindergarten, all other offers lose their validity.
The care types "younger than 3 years" and "3 years or older" are automatically determined on the basis of the child's date of birth. For children who turn three by October 31st, the care type "3 years or older" is automatically chosen.
