KiTa-Finder for North Rhine-Westphalia

Care places, especially for children under the age of three, are in high demand in many places. A childcare entitlement exists regardless of whether the parents work or not. However, the entitlement is not based on a specific daycare or daycare facility place. Parents' right to choose only applies to places that are actually available, i.e. it is subject to the proviso that places are actually available in the desired daycare facility or with the selected childminder. Parents therefore want to find out about local offers in good time. In North Rhine-Westphalia, you can use an online search engine to look for childcare places in your area. With just a few clicks, the free Kita-Finder provides information about places in facilities, the educational concept of the facilities, opening hours and contact details of the contact persons.

It's that simple

Start with the area search for your place of residence. You will receive a map with location markers, a results list of all daycare facilities found and the contact details of the provider and the responsible youth welfare office.

By clicking on the desired childcare facility in the list or on the map, you will be shown all the detailed information. Here you will find

  • A description of the daycare center's educational concept
  • Opening times
  • Contact persons
