Kindergarten & Day Nursery Registration

On this page:

Overview

  • There is one fixed date every year for registration for the municipal kindergartens and day nurseries. Any applications for registration received on this date will be given priority over registrations made after this date.
  • The children registered are ranked according to age. If there are more registrations than places for a day nursery, the older children will be given priority.
  • Early registration prior to this registration date is not possible.

Registration for childcare at the municipal kindergartens and nurseries for the year 2024/2025 takes place between 1 March and 31 March 2024.

The general principle applies that for a child to be admitted to a Leoben kindergarten, the principal place of residence of this child must be Leoben. This means that priority will be given to applications from Leoben citizens. Children from outside Leoben will be admitted to nurseries or kindergartens if there are free places.

  • Nursery: Children up to the age of 3 can be registered.
  • Kindergarten: Children from the age of 3 can be registered.

For the registration, you have the following options:

  • Submit the completed forms via online-form, between 1 March and 31 March 2024.
  • Submit the completed forms at the Leoben City Hall, Referat Bildung, between 25 March and 29 March 2024.
