The Hofmannstraße childcare center of the Studierendenwerk Erlangen-Nürnberg is located in the heart of Erlangen and is easily accessible by public transport. The center is housed in a single-story modern building at Hofmannstraße 23, 91052 Erlangen, and consists of three group units accommodating a total of 36 children (ages 1–3).
At our Hofmannstraße childcare center, we focus on the strengths of the children and build upon them. This allows us to identify and nurture individual preferences, abilities, and skills, even at this early age. Through the age and gender diversity within our groups, children naturally gain experiences essential for their identity development.
Priority admission is given to children of students, who also benefit from highly affordable childcare rates.
