Competence center of the district administration participates in Child Day Care Week: Where children experience care, education and upbringing in a family setting

50 years ago, the "childminders" model project was launched by the German government at the time: in several model municipalities, childminders - not yet childminders at the time - were able to look after children in a family-like environment with state funding. This project marked the beginning of the nationwide introduction of child day care in Germany. The nationwide campaign week for child day care from April 15 to 21 draws attention to this. The District Office's Child Day Care Competence Center is participating with two information stands in Ludwigsburg and is also recruiting new childminders with an online information event on 30 April.

"Alongside child daycare facilities, child daycare is an important and indispensable pillar of early childhood education, care and upbringing," says District Administrator Dietmar Allgaier.The form of care provided by a suitable childminder is legally equivalent to child daycare facilities. It can take place in the home of the day carer, in the parents' home or in other suitable premises. Here, the children receive care, education and upbringing in a family setting and based on the needs of the families. Care contracts under private law are concluded between the parents and the childminders. The public funding of the care relationships requires a suitability check and qualification of the childminders.

Next online information event for interested parties on April 30

In addition to personal suitability, people interested in child day care must also present a certificate of good conduct and a health certificate and have rooms suitable for childcare. They must also complete 300 teaching units to qualify for this activity. The qualification is offered by the Competence Center for Child Day Care, which also regularly offers information events for interested parties. The next information event will take place online on Tuesday, April 30, at 9.30 am.

Childminders can look after up to five children at the same time

Childcare is subsidized with public funds. The subsidy per child and hour in the Ludwigsburg district is 7.50 euros. A childminder can look after up to five children at the same time. In addition, 50 percent of the pension and health insurance contributions are subsidized and the childminders are covered by accident and liability insurance. As a rule, childminders in the district are self-employed. In the district of Ludwigsburg, 248 childminders currently look after 854 children. Of these, 768 are children under the age of three.
