Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
Who is eligible
Parents living in the town with children from 6 months old to grade 6 of elementary school (who attended an information session and registered as members)
Notes
Activities are in principle at the cooperating member's home, and overnight care is not possible. The town notes that few cooperating members are registered.
