Tageseinrichtungen und Kindertagespflege

The fees for child day care are also called the family contribution or participation fee. They depend on the net family income and the size of the family as well as the benefit used.
The fee tables, the Kita fee calculator and the application to reduce the fee are available on the Internet (see links).

Since August 1, 2014, the five-hour basic care in the day care center (and in day care) has been free of charge for all children from birth to school enrollment. Parental contributions are reduced accordingly for childcare times that go beyond this.
If a current daycare voucher is already available, parents do not need to do anything. The changed contributions are automatically applied by the district offices; no separate application is required.

If the parents do not find it reasonable to contribute, they can apply for a reduction in the family contribution (see link Form: Application for hardship regulation ).

In correspondence, please always state the following:

• child's surname
• First name of the child
• child's date of birth
• Complete registration address of the child
