Financing gap threatens all -day care in Nuremberg

social importance of all -day care in Nuremberg

The decision of the Free State of Bavaria to end the funding for three all -day concepts in Nuremberg shocked parents like Lisa Zollinger. This measure not only affects individual families, but also the entire social structure in the city. The affected parents are concerned about the future of all -day care.

St. Leonhard district as an example of successful integration

One of the funded projects took place at the Michaelend elementary school in the St. Leonhard district. In this socially tense environment, all -day care was a lighthouse project that aimed at equal opportunities for disadvantaged children. The close cooperation between teachers and educators as well as a wide range of support measures contributed to offering the children optimal educational opportunities.

Future of all -day care in Nuremberg uncertain

Despite the temporary temporary solution, the parents face an uncertain future. The city of Nuremberg must create around 3,500 additional childcare places until the legal entitlement comes into force in 2026, which is an enormous challenge. The financing of the successful all -day models remains questionable.

The role of the city and the parents

The city of Nuremberg is faced with the task of finding solutions to secure the care places. The funds are limited, which makes the situation even more complicated. The parents continue to work with an online petition for the preservation of all-day concepts, while the city has to examine sustainable financing options to ensure educational justice for all children.
