In Berlin, a daycare voucher (Kita-Gutschein) covers part of the basic costs for kindergarten and preschool. This voucher is a mandatory requirement for enrolling your child at Phorms.
To ensure a smooth process, please apply for the voucher at least two months before your child’s planned start date at your local district office (Bezirksamt).
The district office will assess your application based on your childcare needs, parental employment status, your child's age and any special family circumstances.
You will then receive your day care voucher from the City of Berlin, detailing the allocated care hours and the validity period.
To maintain our bilingual concept and enhanced childcare ratio in our kindergarten and reception, we have established a support association. Parents contribute a monthly fee to this association, which helps fund these high-quality educational offerings.
Your total monthly costs consist of:
- the income-based contribution to the support association
- a flat-rate catering fee
- the parental share of the daycare voucher (Kita-Gutschein)
To make our educational programme accessible to as many families as possible, the parental contribution is income-based. Interested parents can easily calculate their individual monthly fee using our contribution calculator.
In Germany, under certain conditions, parental contributions and support association fees may be deductible as childcare expenses on your tax return. According to Section 10 (1) No. 5 EStG, up to two-thirds of childcare-related expenses—up to a maximum of €4,800 per child—can be deducted, provided the child lives in the taxpayer's household.
Please note that expenses for lessons, private tutoring, sports, or other leisure activities are not tax-deductible. For detailed advice on your individual situation, we recommend consulting your tax advisor.
If you register more than one child, you will benefit from our sibling discount.
The full monthly school fee applies to the eldest child. The second eldest receives a 25% discount, the third eldest enjoys a 50% reduction, and the fourth and all subsequent children benefit from a 75% discount on school fees.
Do you have questions about our kindergarten, school or the registration process? We will be delighted to assist you with any queries.
