Offers for families with small children
Parents and family cafés
For parents and young families with children up to the age of three, the Waldeck-Frankenberg district, in cooperation with the municipalities, offers events for exchange.
Parents' café with reading aloud offer for parents with young children (with a focus on 0-3 years old)
The parents' café with a reading programme for parents with small children (mainly 0-3 years old) is run by the Waldeck-Frankenberg district in cooperation with the Frankenberg and Korbach public libraries. The events take place in a child-friendly environment and are accompanied by a library staff member and an educational specialist. Parents are given interesting and stimulating reading examples and can go on a journey of discovery into the world of books together with their child. Discovery backpacks filled with e.g. age-appropriate picture books, read-aloud books, hand puppets, audio plays and Tonie figures can be borrowed by parents and children.
Parents and Family Café in the District and Hanseatic City of Korbach
The parents and family café is aimed at all families with children aged 0-3 years who would like to have an exchange with other families. Mothers and fathers are welcome with their children. It offers the opportunity to make new contacts in a pleasant and informal atmosphere, to exchange ideas and, if necessary, to ask the professionals about specific topics. Play materials are available for the children on site. The events are accompanied by two professionals from the cooperating day care centres and the day care centre counsellor. If necessary, additional childcare can be provided for siblings at the Korbach youth centre directly opposite.
