Which diapers are suitable for kindergarten? For daycare, in addition to disposable diapers, cloth diapers are also suitable, especially all-in-one diapers, all-in-two diapers, and Judes cloth diapers.
In this article, you will find all the information you need about diaper changing in daycare. In addition, we will give you important tips on how you and your child can prepare for diaper changing time in kindergarten.
Is my child allowed to attend kindergarten in diapers?
The short answer is: Yes, your child is allowed to attend kindergarten in diapers, because every child is entitled to a place in childcare upon reaching their third birthday.
And here is the longer answer:
Although your child has a right to daycare with a daycare center or childminder, whether or not they are already potty-trained, your child can still be rejected by the daycare, because this legal claim is not binding for individual institutions. Each daycare sets its own admission requirements individually.
Are diapers changed in kindergarten?
If the kindergarten accepts your child knowing that they are not yet potty-trained, they must change their diaper. Even if your child no longer wears diapers and something does end up in their pants, they are, of course, entitled to be changed.
Changing and diapering must also take place in a separate area, because even toddlers have the right to protection of their privacy.
