Fees at the “Sonnenblume” kindergarten in Schwabsoien are rising sharply. The municipality must increase the fees for kindergarten and crèche – and significantly.

For four to five hours of care per week, the cost is currently around 98 euros per month. Because the Free State subsidizes 100 euros for regular childcare, there are parents who currently don't have to pay anything for childcare in kindergarten. For the daycare center, where there is no subsidy and which is inherently more expensive because of the higher care costs, parents currently pay just under 197 euros.
