SENSATION in Lichtenwald: Daycare fees rise up to 15%! Parents shocked!
A SHOCKING scenario is unfolding in the tranquil community of Lichtenwald! Childcare fees are skyrocketing! The local council's shocking decision to drastically increase the costs for kindergartens in Hegenlohe, Thomashardt and the Waldkindergarten will hit many parents in the region hard. These STEEP PRICE RISES, ranging from 11 to 15 percent, are right around the corner causing excitement and unrest!
The HORRENDOUS increases aren't just a small increase; they act like a wedge drilled into the families' budget. As esslinger-zeitung.de reports, for example, the fee for a child over three years old in a group with extended opening times is 348 Euros rise to a shocking 387 euros per month! It makes you wonder where the whole thing is supposed to end.
Families in a pinch
Not only that: the half-day crèche groups for under three-year-olds are also affected and will be increased from 313 euros to 355 euros per month! A burden that should NOT be underestimated for many parents who often live at the limit of what is financially possible. But the MONSTROUS fees aren't the only problem. The local council has also decided to revise the care models for primary school children in order to meet the future legal right to full-day care - which will once again lead to higher costs! stuttgarter-nachrichten.de has reported that the recommended cost coverage is only 20 percent!
Given these catastrophic circumstances, the question arises: Who is responsible? It's not just concerned parents who are protesting against these massive fee increases; it is also the voices of the local council that are making SHOCKING proposals to justify the fees. Mayor Ferdinand Rentschler announced a “charming idea” to improve the situation and is even considering abolishing daycare fees completely. But how is that supposed to work? A doubling of property tax B is on the cards! Another slap in the face to families!
The family chaos
If you look at the numbers, the dimension of the problem really becomes visible. With only 13.6 percent of costs covered by fees, it is clear that the state is not doing enough to support parents in their time of need. Where is the help for the families? While 12.9 percent of parents only have one child in care and have to pay the full contribution, others can benefit from family discounts of 20 percent for the second child and even 45 percent for the third child. But even that won't be enough!
Parents fear a SYSTEM of financial ruin thanks to this decision, which was taken up by the local council, where even proposals for the transparency of the cost increase were discussed. Information evenings to educate people before voting were recommended, but WHO IS ACTUALLY HEARD HERE?
With all this overwhelming information, one thing becomes clear: Lichtenwald is on the threshold of a FAMILY CHAOS that could plunge many into the abyss. The question on everyone's mind is: What chaos will come next? For more information about childcare and structural changes, take a look at bmfsfj.bund.de.
