Emergency in Bad Kissingen: daycare centers reach their limits!

Bad Kissingen, Deutschland - In Bad Kissingen, the supervision of the little ones is very important. Mayor Dr. Dirk Vogel met yesterday with the leaders of the city kindergartens to discuss the situation in childcare. These discussions testify to a high level of commitment, because the topic is urgent: 822 places are available in the 13 daycare centers, which are already busy 101.42 percent, such as Bad Kissingen reported. This makes it clear that there could be a significant need for childcare places, which could be covered with the new Theresien Kindergarten, which is being planned.

A particularly interesting detail: Registration for the daycare centers is via the digital registration portal Little Bird, which ensures that parents can assert their legally anchored legal entitlement to a childcare place. According to the law, all children in Germany are entitled to a place in a facility from the first birthday, a regulation that has been in effect since 2014. Courageous parents whose needs cannot be covered must report to the youth welfare office, which offers support, as can be read on Little Bird

Another important point on the agenda was the lack of staff in the daycare centers. This shows that the city offers support to win assistance. This could be a solution to reduce the existing pressure on the care system and offer more children. In the discussion round, employees of the municipal department were also present schools and daycare centers as well as Christina Scheit, the representative of the city council for youth, family and social affairs.

For the preschool children in the coming daycare year 2025/2026, there is also a nice gesture: The district office in Bad Kissingen distributes a 50 euro voucher for swimming courses to the parents of the preschool children, which is a great opportunity for the little ones to deepen their swimming skills. The daycare centers will pass on these vouchers to the parents.

outlook for the future

With the new Theresien Kindergarten and the corresponding measures, the city of Bad Kissingen seems to be on the right track in order to meet the growing demand for childcare places. Nevertheless, the situation remains exciting, especially with the planned legal claim for care for school children from the first to fifth grade from 2026. It will be shown how the city administration will continue to adapt the offer to fully meet the needs of young families

Overall, it should be noted that Bad Kissingen makes great efforts to improve the childcare situation for children. Parents can rely on the support of the city-and use the online registration via Little Bird with a good hand to secure the right place for their child.
