Childcare in emergency and exceptional circumstances
Since January 1, 2009, JGU has made the back-up services provided by pme Familienservice GmbH available to students with children. The carers will look after children aged between 8 weeks and 12 years on an hourly or daily basis, including evenings and weekends. JGU will assume all costs of the emergency childcare services. However, please note that there is a limit to the number of days on which this service may be utilized. For more information, visit here.
