Fee explosion: Parents for daycare centers in Dresden have to pay this from September!

Dresden, Deutschland - In Dresden there is a considerable change: From September 1, 2023, parents must adapt to increased fees for childcare. According to radiiodesden.de , the fee for a full-day place in a daycare center is raised by 18 euros for cribs and 8 euros for day care for six hours. These adjustments are an answer to the increased operating costs of the past few years, which were not least caused by higher energy prices and wages in the educator area.

The numbers speak volumes: While the costs for the operation of the daycare centers were still 93 million euros in 2011, they now cross the 240 million euro mark. For many parents, this not only means an additional financial burden, but also a call to deal with the new contributions.

new regulations from September 2024

Dresden.de , parental contributions will increase for cribs, kindergartens and hoarding between 5.3 % and 6.8 %. Specifically, this means that the contribution to a crib place from 227.30 euros so far increases to EUR 242.86, which corresponds to an increase of 15.56 euros. The fees for places in kindergarten and in the after -school care center are also slightly increased.

  • crib (9 hours): new: 242.86 euros, previously: 227.30 euros (+6.85 %)
  • Kindergarten (9 hours): NEW: 177.09 euros, previously: 166.01 euros (+6.67 %)
  • Hort (6 hours): New: 101.15 euros, previously: 96.00 euros (+5.37 %)

For parents with several children, however, there is a staggering of the contributions: The second counting child pays 60 % of the regular contribution, and single parents can count on a discount of up to 15 %. From the third counting child there are no more parental contributions. These regulations take into account the economic performance of the families and should in particular reduce the stress for young parents.
