Day care centers of the AWO Dortmund sub-district
Since the end of 2012, Fachhochschule Dortmund has had a cooperation agreement with the AWO Dortmund sub-district. This gives both students and employees the opportunity to obtain a childcare place for their child. The AWO Dortmund sub-district is currently responsible for 16 childcare facilities spread across the city of Dortmund. Please contact the family service for further information.
"Die FrecHdachse" - U3 childcare by the multi-generational house Mütterzentrum - Dortmund e.V.
In the lovingly furnished rooms of the "FrecHdachse" at Rheinlanddamm 201a, a total of 9 children of UAS members are currently looked after by two qualified childminders. The children are aged between two months and three years.
The premises consist of a kitchen where the children have breakfast together every morning, a quiet room and a bedroom as well as a playroom. The outdoor play area is also used.
MoKi - Mobile childcare
Your childminder is ill and you have an important appointment at the university? You have the option of using MoKi for such and similar bottlenecks. Your child will be looked after within an agreed distance from you on the university premises while you have an important appointment at the university, for example. Mobile childcare does not replace regular childcare, but it is your short-term care close to the university for emergencies and off-peak times.
In addition to MoKi, MoKi online has established itself as an online childcare service. For example, children can use a video conferencing system to chat with a MoKi supervisor and other children and listen to stories being read aloud.
Vacation care by the company Kita|Concept
Is your child's head spinning during the vacations? During the first weeks of the summer school vacations and during the Easter and fall vacations (NRW), children between the ages of 6 and 13 have the opportunity to register for the Fachhochschule Dortmund vacation program. Together with children of members of TU Dortmund University, they experience a varied program around the campus of Fachhochschule Dortmund and TU Dortmund University.
Can I take my child to the university in an emergency?
Yes, as a family-friendly university you will find various facilities that you can use with your child.
- Changing tables
At all Fachhochschule Dortmund locations you will find TÜV-certified changing tables that can be opened up. They are equipped with a mat and a diaper pail. - The Kids-Box
To support parents of slightly older children, play boxes can be borrowed from all faculties. They contain all kinds of utensils to keep children occupied in a playful way - for example, if the daycare center is on strike or the childminder is unavailable. - Parent-child room
Fachhochschule Dortmund provides its students and employees with children of different ages at all three locations with child-friendly "parent-child rooms", which offer the opportunity to organize themselves while looking after the children, to exchange ideas or simply to take a break.
