Parents in concern: AWO daycare center small and large” threatens to move and loss!

In Königs Wusterhausen there is a significant change in the house: The AWO daycare center "small and large" will move, which triggers concern among the parents. Many fear that their children could lose caregivers, while the daycare center changes to the new, previously undermined building, the daycare center "Game fun" due to the need for renovation. From September, both facilities will work under one roof, while the AWO will decide on the future of educational statements in October. Despite the insurance company that there are no layoffs, it remains unclear how many educators can be adopted in urban institutions, this ensures uncertainty.

The situation see pregnant women particularly critically. An expectant mother plans to move to Brandenburg to offer your baby the best possible care, but has concerns about the search for daycare. According to a report by Gutefrage.net, it is not easy to find a place for a child if the family does not yet live in the catchment area. The uncertainties that result from a tour of 300 km away reflect the challenges that many parents have when moving to a new environment.

Current challenges in early childhood education

As the Bertelsmann Foundation shows in its current monitoring, the situation at the daycare places in Germany is increasingly problematic. While around 385,900 places are missing in the West German federal states, 44,700 are not enough in East Germany. This gap becomes increasingly noticeable, since the need for childcare places is continuously increasing. In particular, the legal claim to early childhood care is a challenge for many families.

The shortage of skilled workers in daycare centers contribute to this misery. In East Germany, a specialist looks after an average of 5.4 children in crèche groups, while this key in West Germany is significantly cheaper: Here it is only 3.4 children per specialist. This imbalance means that almost 90 percent of children in East Germany are looked after in groups with inadequate personnel keys, which also affects the quality of early childhood education.
