Informed parents can better help their children to grow up to be self-confident, critical and courageous people.
In addition to the courses offered in the seminar room at Marienplatz 3, Family Education also offers parenting events or courses directly in daycare centers, schools, district centers or clubs in the various districts of the city. At the events, parents receive specific suggestions and information on issues relating to everyday parenting and family life and have time to exchange experiences.
The family education offers are free of charge and, in addition to general information, try to take into account the individual life situation and cultural background of the participating parents.
Information for newly immigrated families with children
To ensure that your children can go back to school as quickly as possible, Family Education, together with the Coordination Office for Migration (opens in a new tab) of the Stuttgart State Education Authority, offers a school placement service from year 5 onwards.
The Stuttgart State Education Authority invites newly immigrated families to an introductory meeting. The school education your child has already received will be assessed and a suitable preparatory class selected. During the introductory meeting, Family Education offers parents information about the education system in Baden-Württemberg and everyday school life.
If you have any questions about school placement, please contact the Coordination Office for Migration directly:
If you are interested in a parents' event, you are welcome to send an inquiry to familienbildungstuttgartde. Please let us know your preferred topic and your contact details and a speaker will contact you within two weeks. You will discuss the exact details together and set a date for the event.
We offer the following formats:
Individual events and themed evenings: Individual events last between 90 and 120 minutes and address current topics requested by parents. Various methods are used to convey information, encourage reflection and facilitate an exchange of ideas between parents. The cooperation partners are responsible for advertising and registration management.
Courses: Binding registration is required for the courses. The course content builds on each other and is tailored to the different developmental phases of the children. Regular attendance by parents is therefore desirable. The starting dates are indicated. The days of the week generally remain the same and, unless otherwise stated, the courses take place weekly.
Parent coaching: Despite all the joys of everyday life with children, there are always challenges that parents face. This offer aims to give you new impetus and energy for your everyday family life. In a pleasant small-group atmosphere, we offer parents the opportunity to discuss topics and questions that concern them with other parents and with professional support. You decide the topics yourself. If you have any questions, please contact the course leaders Kerstin Krämer(0711 216-25420) or Silvia Weber-Vogt(0711 216-80349) directly.
All courses take place with a minimum of 5 participants. The events are free of charge. In return, we would be pleased if you would take care of the premises and, if necessary, childcare during the event.
