Family

Düsseldorf is family friendly! From the successful start to family life, through kindergarten and school, to education and study, the city wants to help parents, children and young people with information and help. Leisure activities and the family card round off the "feel-good package" for families in Düsseldorf.

The children's and youth facilities and adventure playgrounds offer children and young people between the ages of six to 21 years opportunities for attractive leisure activities. Here children and adolescents can find and meet friends and also learn from each other, because we see an important task in promoting social coexistence, the ability to self-determination and social responsibility.

For the children and young people, the city offers additional school assistance and pre-employment support (for example, school childcare with lunch and language support services).
