Settling-in for children new to the crèche takes place in August/ September, aligned with the start of the school year. Children must be at least 18 months old by the end of September to be eligible for admission. We give preference to applicants who will remain in crèche for 2 school years.
Additional selection criteria include:
cultural diversity
a balanced ratio of girls and boys
We hold space in our kindergarten groups for those previously attending our crèche. Therefore, we have a very limited number of spaces available for children aged 3 and 4. These places are prioritised for siblings of existing students. We do not accept new enquiries for this age group.
Preschool is the most common year to enter Phorms. Children must be 5 years old by the end of September in order to start. Your child’s first day in Preschool takes place at the start of the school year in August/ September.
Additional selection criteria include:
language skills in German and English: proficiency in at least one of Phorms’ target languages; knowledge of the other language is an advantage
socioeconomic and cultural diversity

Monthly tuition
The core hours in our crèche are from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm.
We want our educational programme to be accessible to as many children as possible. From kindergarten onwards, we are pleased to be able to offer income-based tuition. Tuition is always determined by the gross annual income of all legal guardians from two years prior. This means, for example, that for the 2026/27 school year, the positive gross annual income of the parents/guardians from 2024 will be used, along with hours in attendance, to determine tuition. Tuition is recalculated every year. With our tuition calculator, you can estimate your monthly fees.

(valid for the 2025/26 school year – subject to change)
A one-time administration fee of €1,750 is charged upon contract completion. This fee will not be charged again when moving on to kindergarten, primary school or secondary school at Phorms Munich.
For meals, a monthly fee of €110 is charged in crèche and €116 in kindergarten and preschool. Meals include breakfast, lunch and snacks.
At the beginning of the school year, a materials fee of €100 is payable.
All siblings (including the first child) in kindergarten and school receive a sibling discount of 15% of tuition. No sibling discount is granted in crèche.
The State of Bavaria grants families a subsidy of €100 per child per month during the kindergarten period. The subsidy is provided from the 1st of September of the calendar year in which the child turns three and continues until school enrolment. This subsidy, paid directly to Phorms, reduces the monthly tuition by €100.
Tuition for crèche & kindergarten (including preschool) may be tax deductible as childcare costs. If both parents, or a single parent, are working, childcare expenses amounting to 80% of the total costs—up to a maximum of €4,800 per child—may be deducted as business expenses (Betriebsausgaben) or income-related expenses (Werbungskosten) when determining taxable income. This does not include expenses which are related to extracurricular activities, tuition for special skills, or for sport and other leisure activities.
