Parents in Coswig: Increasing daycare costs from September 2025!
From September 1, 2025, things will become concrete in Coswig: The city will increase parental contributions for childcare in all facilities. This applies to crèches as well as kindergartens, after-school care centers and day care. How Sächsische.de reported, the contributions will increase by the following:
- Kinderkrippe: Erhöhung um 25,20 Euro auf insgesamt 361,70 Euro
- Kindergarten: Erhöhung um 14,40 Euro auf 204,20 Euro
- Hort: Erhöhung um 7,60 Euro auf 108,40 Euro
The decision to increase contributions was not made without reason. The city administration reviewed the operating costs for the facilities and found that they increased by about 7.5 percent compared to the previous year. Higher salaries in social and educational services as well as general price increases lead to this necessary adjustment. In addition, there has been a new law since August 2023 that requires more staff in the facilities, which further increases expenses.
Care offers in Coswig
A total of 1,627 places are available in Coswig in various forms of care. Last year, an average of 1,431 children were cared for, which corresponds to an impressive occupancy rate of around 88 percent. The city has allocated around 3.89 million euros from its budget for the facilities for the coming year 2024.
Parents who need financial support have the opportunity to apply to the Meißen district for a reduction in fees. The economic ability of the parents and the extent of care must be taken into account. The youth welfare office ensures that the amount of contributions is socially staggered, as stipulated by the Children's Education Act (KiBiz). Parents should also be prepared for the fact that the amount of the contribution varies depending on the care time and income; in some cases it is even possible to waive the contributions, as the website of the Family portals NRW explained.
The cost increases and adjustments are a sign that the city is continuing to pay attention to the quality of care in Coswig. To ensure that this important topic remains on the radar, all parents and interested parties are called upon to find out about the new contributions and support offers in good time.
