Hort der Volksschule Leobersdorf

About Hort der Volksschule Leobersdorf

The Hort der Volksschule Leobersdorf (after-school care) looks after children from the primary school at Rathausplatz 3 after lessons, with lunch, homework time and free play. It is run by the Volksschulgemeinde Leobersdorf and is housed in the school and in an extension built in 2006.

Who can attend

Every child at the Volksschule Leobersdorf can attend the Hort; the children are usually between six and ten years old. Pre-school children and children with special needs are also accepted. Registration is in writing after a personal meeting with the head of the Hort, and children can join or leave at the end of each month. New children get a taster day.

A day at the Hort

• From the end of lessons – arrival and hot lunch in the dining hall (soup, main course, sometimes dessert); children who do not eat pork or need a special diet get their own meal
• From 13:25 – homework time in five study groups, followed by activities in the groups and in the garden
• Friday – no homework time, but a project day with outings to playgrounds and festivals instead
• Until 17 h – free play in a small group, in winter often in the exercise room

Pick-up is at 13:15, 15 or 17 h; on Fridays the Hort closes at 15 h. If children bring their own food, it can be heated in the microwave.

What it costs

The monthly fee depends on the care time and is calculated per weekday in the month: 29.40 euros until 13:15, 35 euros until 15 h and 50.40 euros until 17 h. A subsidy can be applied for from the state of Lower Austria.

Holidays and team

The Hort is open on school days and during the autumn holidays. It is closed at Christmas, during the semester break, at Easter and on days off set by the school. In summer there is a summer Hort in the first and last three weeks of the holidays. The Hort is run by Dagmar Franz, and children are looked after in several groups.

The primary school itself has around 199 pupils and holds, among other things, the Austrian Ecolabel and the school sports quality seal in gold.
