Erziehung in einer Tagesgruppe beantragen

As a parent with custody, you can apply to the responsible youth welfare office for education in a day group. This office will then decide whether raising the child in a day group is a suitable measure.

Education in a day group is particularly suitable for children of school age and above who exhibit behavioral problems or developmental delays. The children and young people are supported with social and curative educational measures.

Education in a day group is a semi-stationary offer. This means that the child receives

• the same therapeutic and educational services as in residential care (e.g. in a home or foster family),
  
• educational services that it does not receive sufficiently in the family, and
  
• school support

The child is looked after in the day group during the week after school and can stay with the family and thus in their familiar surroundings.

Social learning and a regular daily structure help the children and young people to cope with conflicts or organize their everyday lives and provide stimulation for meaningful leisure activities, among other things.

In addition, the children receive support in school matters and young people are helped with their professional integration.

The group size is usually between eight and ten children.

The youth welfare office involves the parents intensively in the upbringing in a day group (e.g. through targeted counseling sessions, parents' evenings, parents' leisure time or parent-child meetings).

Please clarify with the Youth Welfare Office which documents you need to submit.

Parents must contribute to the costs of the day group according to their financial means.

The custodial parents must apply to the responsible youth welfare office for education in a day group. This office decides whether raising the child in a day group is a suitable measure.

Before the youth welfare office approves education in a day group, all parties involved draw up a support plan together. This sets out how the help is to be organized and how long it is to last.

Education in a day group can take place for different lengths of time, depending on how long is deemed necessary for the child.

Please contact the local youth welfare office.

Responsibility lies with the local youth welfare office.
