Day care centre - Register for childcare

  • Service description

    Day care centres for children are crèches for children up to the age of three, kindergartens for children from the age of three until they start school, day nurseries for school-age children and multi-age day care centres for children, Section 25 of the Hessian Child and Youth Welfare Code (HKJGB).

    Day care centres are intended to promote the development of the child into an independent and socially competent personality, to support and supplement upbringing and education in the family and to help parents to better reconcile employment and child rearing, Section 22 of Book Eight of the German Social Code (SGB VIII).

    Children from the age of one are entitled to early childhood support in a day care centre or in child day care, Section 24 of Book Eight of the German Social Code (SGB VIII).

  • What fees are incurred?

    Parental contributions are set by the respective providers (local authority, churches, etc.) and can therefore vary. In accordance with § 90 Para. 3 SGB VIII, the local youth welfare office pays some or all of the fees if the burden is unreasonable for the parents.

    From 1 August 2018, the state of Hesse will subsidise six hours of free kindergarten attendance. If municipalities participate in this state subsidy, they are obliged to exempt all children in the municipal area who attend kindergarten or a multi-age group from the age of 3 until they start school from the cost and participation fee for six hours a day. The exemption from contributions generally applies to all daycare centres run by local authorities and independent organisations.
    If the local authority introduces the extended fee exemption, parents do not have to make any arrangements in order to benefit from the fee exemption. The local authorities that make use of the state subsidy do not charge any contributions for childcare of up to six hours a day and ensure that the non-profit and other providers of daycare centres in their area also exempt parents accordingly.
