Parents in Coswig: increasing daycare costs from September 2025!

From September 1, 2025, it will be concrete in Coswig: The city increases parental contributions for childcare in all facilities. This affects both the crèches as well as the kindergartens, hoarding and day care. As Sächsische.de reports, the contributions will increase to the following:

• Feeding crib: Increase by EUR 25.20 to a total of 361.70 euros
• Kindergarten: Increase by 14.40 euros to 204.20 euros
• Hort: Increase by 7.60 euros to 108.40 euros

The decision to increase the contribution was not without reason. The city administration checked the operating costs for the facilities and found that they rose by about 7.5 percent compared to the previous year. Higher salaries in the social and educational service as well as general price increases lead to this necessary adaptation. In addition, there has been a new law since August 2023, which prescribes more staff in the facilities, which continues to drive the expenses.
