New rules for daycare payments: What parents need to know now!

In the current discussion about childcare care, it becomes clear that the topics of additional payments and the rights of parents play an increasingly important role. Especially since the latest regulations, people ask themselves in many Bavarian municipalities: What opportunities do parents actually have in order to obtain a daycare center and what costs do they have?

like noe.orf.at, no additional additional payments may be a prerequisite for the conclusion of a childcare contract. This means that every carrier is obliged to offer a place that does not bring about financial obligations for the parents. Parents who have already agreed with additional payments can terminate them with a period of one month at the end of the month. Particularly important: The termination of the additional payment must not lead to the termination of the care contract.

regulations for parent-initiative daycare centers

In the parent-initiative daycare centers (EKT), however, the Situation looks a little different. Here the parents are not entitled to an additional payment. In addition, the agreed additional payments cannot simply be terminated unilaterally. A majority decision for such agreements applies within the sponsoring association. Nevertheless, it was determined that a new upper limit of 100 euros was also introduced in EKT for additional payments.

The legal basis for childcare care are recorded in Germany in the Social Code, more precisely in § 24 SGB VIII. In it, the legal right to support for children from the first year of life up to school is regulated. Cities and municipalities are required to create needs -based offers and to inform the parents about the available places, as is explained at Kindertagetreuung.de.

supervision and insurance coverage

In the meantime, the duty of supervision also remains a central topic. This lies with the custody rights and is handed over to the sponsors or specialists during the childcare period. The safety of the children must also be taken care of: accident insurance protection applies not only to activities within the program, but also on the way to support, which gives parents additional security.

The current regulations on additional payments and the provision of daycare places show that the needs of families are focused on. Despite all the challenges in the system, there are always positive approaches that should make it easier for parents to find the right care for their children.

While there are still adjustments in many cities and municipalities, it remains to be seen how the situation in the Bavarian region will develop. It is obvious that a certain level of commitment is required by both the providers and the parents - a good hand can only be an advantage!
