Studentenwerk Dresden

What makes our SpielWerk daycare special.

Every child is welcome here. Our facility is open to all families, regardless of whether they are affiliated with the university.

Diversity is part of our everyday life. We value the cultural backgrounds of our children and families and see them as a valuable asset. We also treat different family structures with openness and respect.

A special feature of the SpielWerk daycare center is that the Studentenwerk Dresden can deploy additional staff from its own resources in the event of unplanned staff shortages. This allows us to keep day-to-day operations stable and avoid short-term restrictions as much as possible.
