Elternbeitrag übernehmen

Since January 1, 2020, the following applies in Rhineland-Palatinate: Fee-free from two! This means that all children between the ages of two and starting school are exempt from daycare/crèche fees.

Providers of daycare facilities that are part of the demand plan charge parental contributions to cover a proportion of the personnel costs for the support of school children and children who have not yet reached the age of two.

A separate fee is charged for lunch and meals for all children.

Parental contributions are set by the local public youth welfare authority, i.e. the responsible youth welfare office.

If the payment of a parental contribution is not reasonable for the individual (e.g. because the parents' income is too low), the parental contribution will be waived or paid by the local youth welfare office upon application.

The responsible youth welfare office will inform you of this on request.

In order for parental contributions to be waived or paid by the responsible youth welfare office, they must be unreasonable for the parents. This is particularly the case if:

• receive benefits to secure their livelihood in accordance with Book 2 of the German Social Code (SGB II) - basic income support for jobseekers,
• benefits in accordance with the third and fourth chapters of the 12th Book of the Social Code (SGB XII) - assistance for subsistence or basic security in old age - or
• receive benefits in accordance with §§ 2 and 3 of the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act or
• if the child's parents receive child supplement in accordance with § 6a of the Federal Child Benefit Act or
• if the child's parents receive housing benefit in accordance with the Housing Benefit Act.

However, a parental contribution may also be unreasonable if the income as such is very low, but no application for housing benefit has been made, for example.

However, additional relief applies during the Corona crisis!
