Family afternoon with games, conversation and information on May 6th
The city of Darmstadt, a center of science and research, invites everyone to an open picnic in the Herrngarten park as part of the nationwide Child Daycare Action Week. The event will take place on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, from 4 pm to 6 pm on the central meadow.
Insights into the daily life of child day care
The meeting is organized by the city's childcare department in cooperation with the childminding agency. The focus is on providing personal insights into daily childcare practices. Childminders will showcase the diversity of their work through various interactive activities.
Planned activities include creative pursuits such as painting, building, storytelling, and blowing bubbles. These offerings are primarily aimed at families with young children.
Exchange in a family atmosphere
Barbara Akdeniz also emphasizes the importance of the event: The picnic offers a good opportunity to get to know childminding as an important part of childcare.
Besides play and information, the main focus is on interaction. Families can talk to caregivers and make new contacts.
Information on participation
Visitors are asked to bring a picnic blanket as well as their own food and drinks. The event will be cancelled in case of bad weather.
