Education Kindergarten

Most children in Austria go to kindergarten between the ages of three and six, although kindergarten is not mandatory. Children under the age of three may go to a nursery (“Kinderkrippe”). Finding a place in a nursery and a kindergarten, however, can be quite difficult. Viennese nurseries and kindergartens are free of charge for people with their main residence in Vienna; only a monthly contribution for food needs to be paid. Private nurseries and kindergartens are available. Monthly fees do apply. Finding a place may be difficult, too. Therefore, we recommend flexibility when choosing a private kindergarten. It may not be possible to send one’s child(ren) to the one nearest the residence.
