Childcare Schaffhausen – Find Available Spots & Suitable Care

Yes, in many cases. The canton of Schaffhausen borders Germany on three sides – families from the border region, for example around Singen or Jestetten, can register with many Kinderkrippen in Schaffhausen. It's best to check directly with the facility whether it also accepts families living abroad.

As financial support is usually tied to residence in Switzerland, families living in Germany generally pay the regular care rate without municipal contributions.

On Awina you'll find Kinderkrippen throughout the canton of Schaffhausen – for example in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Thayngen or Stein am Rhein – and can easily compare suitable childcare options.

Whether and how much financial support you receive for a daycare spot in the canton of Schaffhausen depends mainly on your municipality of residence. Contributions are often based on your family's income and the amount of care you need.
