Municipal daycare centers (EKO)
Childcare places in the EKO daycare centers (municipal daycare centers) are operated by the Eigenbetrieb Kindertagesstätten Offenbach (EKO) and allocated centrally by the EKO place administration.
Please note: The allocation of daycare places in daycare centers of independent and church-run providers takes place directly in the daycare centers there. It is not possible to register using the form below. This is exclusively for the municipal daycare centers (EKO-Kitas).
EKO-Platzverwaltung is located at Platz der Deutschen Einheit, in the Haus der Wirtschaft, next to Offenbach Town Hall.
Our postal address is:

How do I get an EKO kita place?
Please first submit an application for childcare for your child in an EKO daycare center. You can download the form for applying for an EKO childcare place here:
Once we have received the completed form from you, we will check availability. However, this can take a few weeks. So don't be surprised if you don't hear from us straight away. We process all registrations one after the other.
As soon as we have checked availability, we will offer you a childcare place. If you would like to make use of this, please return the signed contract to us, stating the amount of childcare you require. If we do not receive a reply from you within the specified period, we will assume that you no longer require a place and will delete your registration details. You can of course re-register at any time.
Childcare places are usually allocated in the spring. The daycare year then always starts after the Hessian summer vacation with the new school year.
You can make an appointment to visit one of our EKO daycare centers at any time. Please call the daycare center in advance or write an e-mail to find out when a visit will be possible. Please note that you will not receive any information about availability and allocation of places or possible waiting times.
Whether you put your documents in our letterbox or send them to us by post or e-mail has no effect on your waiting time for an EKO kita place. As soon as a place becomes available, you will automatically receive a place offer from us.
If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to eko-kitaplatzoffenbachde with the subject line
| Status request for place allocation / Kita-NR / child surname, child first name *date of birth |
