Child care in Salzburg

Hi,

when settling in a new country, working parents are mostly concerned about finding child care services for their children.

What can you share with us about the child care system in Salzburg ?

How much is daycare in Salzburg?

Is the staff qualified at these daycare centers?

What are the usual opening hours?

Do they provide other services at the daycare center?

Any daycare center in Salzburg you would like to recommend to other expats? What makes them special?

Thank you for participating! :)

Hello,
I am looking for these same answers, but for different reasons:  I would like to open an authentic Montessori school in the Salzburg area.  I know that there are German-language schools that follow some sort of Montessori idea, but from what I'm learning here, Austria doesn't seem to have the type of Montessori training that is found in other places around the world.

Are there parents in the area who would like to form a school?  I would be thrilled to be a part of a start-up project.

Hi... I'm looking for an English speaking preschool (for a 5 yr old) in Salzburg, or just outside.  I found one, however it is full for 2012/2013. Also, do you know of an English speaking K-4th grade elementary school??? Jana
