Company "Day parents" at the University

In October 2024, at the beginning of the winter semester, the University of Innsbruck will open a childcare option on the premises of the Faculty of Theology at Karl-Rahner-Platz in the immediate vicinity of the Universitätsstraße campus. In this way, it is making a further step towards reconciling work and childcare. In cooperation with the Aktion Tagemütter/-väter Tirol association, a company childminder will look after children aged 0-6 of university employees in a specially adapted apartment with a spacious outdoor area. Following the principle "responsible, individual and loving", Aktion Tagesmütter/-väter can look back on more than 25 years of experience in childcare in Tyrol.

Opening hours

The facility is open all year round from Monday to Thursday from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm and Friday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Children’s Age

The childcare offer is aimed at children from the age of 0-6 years (cut-off date is August 31, start of school).
