Family centre

The task of a family centre is to provide offers for assisting and supporting children and families in different circumstances of life and with different needs via the day care institution. In this, it is important that the offers have low thresholds, i.e. that they are close to everyday life and can be used without any inhibition thresholds or spatial impediments.

Family centres follow a family-oriented approach. They want to address the family as a whole and offer a living environment for children as well as for the complete family. They address all families in the environment and are not aimed at certain target groups.

In the area of the city of Jülich, there are currently three family centres which provide different services to children and their families:

• Family centre "Hand in Hand"
• Family centre Koslar-Barmen
• Family centre and integrative Kita Purzelbaum
• Family centre protestant church congregation
