Kita Conni remains open: Court decides against exclusion!

In the heart of the Dresden Neustadt, the children's shop of the AZ Conni makes headlines. Parents and employees are extremely relieved that their daycare center remains open despite a violent argument. As Diesachsen.de decided on May 26 that the Landesjugendamt was unlawful. This decision gives the carrier new courage, since the conflict triggered by a complaint has now taken a turn.

The entire dispute had its origin in an incident in which a father was banned from a police uniform. As a result, the daycare for his child was terminated. The state youth welfare office promptly reacted to the parents' complaint and picked up the operating license on December 19, 2023. As the Heimatbote-vogtland.de even went so far, the reliability of the operator, the Conni e. V., to doubt, since the freedom-democratic basic order was not recognized. A suspected exclusion of children whose parents are police officers turned out to be another explosive topic.

illegality and the consequences

The administrative court found that the state youth welfare office had not sufficiently checked whether there was an actual risk of child welfare. In his judgment, the judges decided that the ban on the house for the police father was legal, but the decision to announce the operating license was disproportionate. In this special case, a ban on discrimination does not apply what the facility justified and was therefore successful in court. The children's shop's complaint received suspensive effect in the urgent procedure on March 8, 2024.

A look back on legal framework conditions

The key questions about the operating license are closely linked to the child and youth welfare law as well as country-specific regulations. According to bildungsserver.de , the (state) youth welfare offices are responsible for the granting of these permits. They are also consultants in planning and management, but as the case in Dresden shows, the uncertainty of sponsors about their rights and obligations can certainly lead to conflicts.

In the end, it should be noted that the children's shop of the AZ Conni was not only able to defend itself against injustice due to the current judicial decision, but also serves as a good example of the balance between the right to education and the challenges that arise in social interaction. At a time when tolerance and respect are required, we can only hope that similar incidents can be avoided in the future.
