New parents' contributions in Dresden: The care will be so expensive from September!

The parents in Dresden can look forward to some changes that will take effect in childcare from September 1, 2025. Pieschen Aktuell reports that the new parental contributions will increase between 7.2 and 8.3 percent. These adjustments concern a variety of facilities, including cribs, kindergartens as well as regular and support centers. The main reason for this increase is increased costs for personnel and operation.

A look at the specific new monthly contributions shows that the crib or day care for children will now cost 268.75 euros for 9 hours, while it was previously 250.45 euros. The kindergarten contributions increase from 199.14 euros to EUR 215.75 and the after-school fees increase from 111.11 euros to 119.12 euros, both for regular and conveyor centers.

stable adjustments and relief

The increase in contributions is not without reason: Since September 1, 2022, parental contributions have been adapted annually on September 1st, based on the operating costs of the previous year. The city council has also influenced this in the current design rates that decrease annually. This ensures a price adjustment, but the city continues to offer a number of discounts and exemptions.

• for the second child there is a discount of 60 percent of the contribution.
• Single parents receive a 90 percent discount for the first child and 50 percent for the second.
• From the third child, the care is free of charge.
• In the case of social benefits or low incomes, discounts or decree are also possible.
