Registration

Due to the cost of providing a high-quality, English-speaking Montessori environment fees have to be paid by the parents. Please enquire directly at the kindergarten for the current fees list.

The standard fees are subject to a full subsidy by the City of Vienna (which is only available to residents of Vienna – including diplomats – who have a valid Kundennummer from the MA 10 – see below). Non-residents will have to pay a supplementary tuition fee equal to the reduction in the subsidy.

The City of Vienna Child Care Department MA 10 provides parents with the MA10 Kundennummer (customer service number) which all kindergartens in Vienna need to claim the subsidy paid for every child in Vienna. Please visit their website for more information (or call their hotline at 01/277 5555) – there is an online form available here.

There is an additional subsidy available for low-income families from the MA 11 (Vienna Child & Youth Department) – check the information here (there is also an information pdf in various languages available to download there). In addition, the AMS (Arbeitsmarktservice) can also provide financial support. You are welcome to contact us for help or further information.

UN employees (and those of most international organisations in Vienna) who can claim the education grant (for children above the age of 5) can also receive this when their child is attending The Children’s House – we are currently registered with the respective HR departments as a primary level educational institution.

To register your child for The Children’s House please fill out the following online form. You are also welcome to contact us directly by phone or email to arrange a visit, we usually offer a guided tour once a week. Your child can in theory start attending The Children’s House at any time during the school year, should a place be available. For your information, we do NOT confirm places for September before January/February of the same year!

Please make sure to fill out as many details as you can. The MA10 Kundennummer does not have to be entered, but please make sure to apply for it as soon as possible – it is compulsory for all children attending a kindergarten in Vienna.

Please be aware that we always receive many more applications than we can offer places for. All applications will be placed on our waiting list

For your information, official confirmations always include details about the start, and information about all payments which need to be done to confirm your acceptance of a place – no fees need to be paid prior to this. Any other email/phone/personal conversations must be treated as estimations. We cannot guarantee a space at The Children’s House until we know our availabilities for the following school year. This process usually starts in January/February for the following September.

(Registration does not guarantee a place for your child at The Children’s House. However, once we have offered a place for your child the registration fee & the deposit has to be paid immediately.)

For full details of all the terms & conditions and methods of payment please contact The Children’s House . We expressly reserve the right to amend the Fees and Conditions.
