In times of the coronavirus pandemic, it has once again become very clear how important childcare is for families these days. "Many families reached their limits during the closure of the facilities in March/April," says Allgaier. As an employer, the district administration office offers its employees flexible options. It is therefore delighted that the district's "Schneckenhaus" company daycare center was able to open on time in October. According to the district administrator, the new daycare center increases the district office's attractiveness as an employer and can therefore better compete for urgently needed skilled workers. If conditions permit, an open day with children and parents will hopefully be held next summer.
Yves-Patrick Wörner, member of the regional board of Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe, was delighted with the inauguration of what is now the ninth daycare center run by Johanniter. There is still a lot to do in and around the newly constructed building, so director Yvonne Brümmer and her team will only be looking after a few children for the time being. On behalf of the city of Ludwigsburg, First Mayor Konrad Seigfried praised the excellent cooperation with the district office and brought along a "Hello Baby" bag as a gift. The city of Ludwigsburg funded the investment costs with one million euros and also contributes to the annual operating costs. In return, ten of the 40 daycare places are reserved for children from Ludwigsburg. Architect Mathias Orth from KMB was delighted with the "exciting and cheerful building", which is recognizable as a modern building block in the historical ensemble.
