Subsidies for day care

Assumption of childcare costs by the Hochtaunuskreis

An important element in the promotion of children is attendance at a day care centre

Child day care centres fulfil an educational and supportive mandate that is anchored in the Child and Youth Welfare Code. At the same time, they create good framework conditions for families to reconcile family and career as well as equal opportunities on the labour market.

Attendance at a child day care centre is an important part of the childcare system.

Attendance at a day care centre should therefore be made possible for every child in our society. As of 01.08.2013, there is even a legal entitlement to a day-care place once the child has reached the age of one.

In order to prevent exclusion from day-care, it is important to ensure that the child has a place in a day-care centre.

In order to prevent exclusion from attendance due to economic situations, there is the possibility of full or partial reimbursement of the costs of care for day care, crèche, day care centre or after-school care by the Hochtaunuskreis.

  • Legal bases are: §§ 2;22f. SGBVIII in conjunction with. §90 Abs. 3 SGBVIII
  • Responsibility lies with the Hochtaunuskreis, department "FB Kinder und Jugend / Kinderbetreuungskosten
  • .
