Playgroups
Playgroups are a low-threshold socio-educational service in which children from the age of one are looked after until they enter a daycare facility. The care days and times vary and can be found in the table below.
They contribute to a differentiated, needs-based care offering and are a building block within the network of care and support services in the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer.
