Emergency Childcare
If your child falls ill, or regular day care is cancelled at short notice, you have the possibility of applying for free day care up to four times per year. Please note that you have to register yourself in the emergency pool at the childcare agency in advance.


Flexible Childcare
In certain cases, students can receive subsidies for childcare. Please contact the Family Service staff.


Sportkindergarten and Daycare at the Medical Center
The University also offers also a "Sportkindergarten"
and a facility for the children of the Medical Center's members https://www.umg.eu/karriere/kindertagesstaette/


Parent-Child Rooms
Various faculties offer rooms designed for working, playing and nursing babies. The rooms are equipped with computers, internet access, toys and a changing table. The parent-child rooms are intended to bridge gaps in childcare, for instance if the kindergarten is closed in summer or if the child minder is not available. The rooms do not constitute an alternative childcare facility, but rather an important step towards better juggling studying, a job and your family.
