District – Actually, it should have closed due to a lack of staff.

But the daycare center on the Wiesenring is secured - for the time being: the city of Landsberg will take over the sponsorship until August 1, 2023, informs city press spokeswoman Susanne Flügel.

This was preceded by talks between the city and the previous provider, the Johanniter, because two groups had to close due to a staff shortage.

"It wasn't easy for us," assures Michael Raab from the marketing department of the Johanniter regional association in Upper Bavaria.

However, the personnel situation in the region is "very tense" (see article on the left).

"Together with the Johanniter, we looked for a good and constructive solution - for the children and their families," informs Mayor Doris Baumgartl.

There are four care groups in the facility, two of which are crèche groups and two kindergarten groups.

The children of the most recently closed groups could be accommodated in the city's facilities, in the AWO daycare center Sonnenstrahl and in the BRK daycare center Rainbow.

Baumgartl thanks "expressly for the willingness to cooperate of all providers and the good cooperation within the city of Landsberg".

now it is important to keep the two existing groups and expand the offer to the four groups again as soon as possible.

To this end, they want to “acquire the appropriate specialist staff as quickly as possible”.
