There is a lack of everything: staff, money and hearing.
Representatives of Bavarian daycare centers criticize the policy.
Government representatives are now commenting on the allegations.
Munich – They look after the smallest members of society and under conditions that are no longer justifiable.
Because there has been a lack of staff, money and hearing for daycare centers in Bavaria for decades.
The lack of social policy is to blame.
This has now been massively criticized by representatives of Bavarian daycare associations.
The employees have long felt disrespected and ignored by those in charge in politics, it was said on Sunday (March 25th) as the conclusion of an event with specialists and state politicians from the Association of Kita Specialists in Bavaria.

Wishes of the daycare professionals: Pedagogical quality must increase again
“Above all, daycare professionals want more staff, smaller groups and better financing of their work, as well as higher wages,” emphasized Sibylle Schuster, managing director of the Catholic Workers’ Movement in Munich and Freising.
“It became very clear that at the same time the educational quality in the daycare centers must increase again.
A purely numerical increase in personnel ignores the problem.”
The chairwoman of the Kita Skilled Workers Association, Veronika Lindner, also criticized the fact that state politics should not focus on recruiting new skilled workers, but must also take the needs of existing skilled workers into account - so that they do not become overworked and losing quality left the system frustrated.
The daycare centers in the Free State are chronically underfunded.
Söder's Family Minister Ulrike Scharf (CSU) reacted to the allegations and announced on Sunday: "I am very aware of the constantly growing need for qualified staff and childcare places." Childcare is systemically important.
“My door is always open for improvements and further developments!”

Concrete suggestions: Improved employment ratio and more assistants
A specific suggestion to state politicians is an improved employment key, in which daycare center managers are not included.
The specialist staff also needs to be supported even more by administrative and assistant staff, who should not be counted as skilled workers in the personnel ratio, demanded Schuster.
According to the information, Melanie Huml (CSU) and Doris Rauscher (SPD), both members of the Social Committee of the Bavarian State Parliament, as well as the Green Party parliamentary group leader Katharina Schulze, took part in the event.
