Kindergarten

Attendance of a kindergarten is mandatory for children at the age of 5 years. Children who turn five by August 31 of a year have to attend kindergarten from September through June at least on a half-day basis. Parents of children who turn 4 by September 1 are invited by the authorities to a mandatory interview, if the child is not yet listed for kindergarten attendance.
There are exceptions for children who are cared for at home or by day-care parents.
