Childminders in the Schwalm-Eder district: A life anchor for families!

In the Schwalm-Eder district, the Felsberg day parents is an important institution for the care of children. According to HNA , over 400 children are looked after by the club every year. This is particularly important because childminders offer care on evenings and weekends if other facilities are not available.

The association was founded 30 years ago by committed child minders to improve their working conditions and increase public recognition. Today the Felsberg day parents has 144 members and works in the entire Schwalm-Eder district, with most of the support in the cities of Fritzlar, Felsberg and Schwalmstadt.

growing demand and support

Last year, over 440 children found a place at the club's day care parents. The foundation of the association dates to April 26, 1995. I have the task of supporting parents in the selection and care of child minders and at the same time pointing out the importance of day care.

The costs for day care vary between 90 and 265 euros, depending on the scope of care. The special thing about it is that day care is not tied to the children's place of residence. Parents can choose the childcare place immediately according to their place of work, which offers flexibility.

development and organization

under the direction of managing director Christina Ullmann, who took over the successor of co -founder Gisela Kuhnert in 2020, the association was professionally organized in 2007. The day parents' association receives financial support from the district committee of the Schwalm-Eder district, which makes the work of the nannies enormously easier.

The number of active child minders has increased from 15 to 85 in 2024. This shows the growing demand for flexible childcare. Mainly the child minders look after children between the ages of 1 and 3, whereby the offer also exists for older children up to the age of 14.
