Criticism of Friedrichsdorf's childcare: parent groups raise the alarm!

In Friedrichsdorf, the current situation in childcare ensures great concern. The SPD sharply criticized the inadequate conditions in the urban institutions. Despite a certain stabilization in the Holzhausen children's castle, the childcare situation remains dissatisfactory for many parents, as the parents' advisory board describes extensively and describes it as "catastrophic". In this context, the SPD asked for short -term improvements to guarantee parents and children. The pressure on the childcare offer is particularly high because demand in the city increases. FNP reports that the Kinderburg Holzhausen has two kindergarten and three after-school groups. However,

Last April had to be closed by a after -school group due to personnel failures. Christine Keil, the head of the Office for Social Affairs, emphasizes that the childcare key is bad for the after -school children and that closures of groups have to be viewed as "Ultima Ratio". In order to stabilize the situation, personnel from other urban institutions were deducted. At the end of May, a new employee was also transferred to the children's castle and in June another force started their work.

The challenges in the occupation of open spots are considerable in Friedrichsdorf. Mayor Lars Keitel (Greens) emphasized the difficulties of finding qualified staff. The city has currently advertised four jobs for educational specialists. In addition, the approval for a jumping position has been available for two months, but has not yet been officially announced. As the SPD Friedrichsdorf , the average sick leave in Germany is also a factor that continues the personnel cover.

The SPD demands increased marketing measures for recruitment and sees the need to make Friedrichsdorf more attractive to educators than surrounding cities. The mayor has announced that it will make improvements in the 2026 budget, in which the salary situation of the educators and possible allowances will be an issue.

socio -political importance of care

Gisela Tenter, the chair of the Committee on Youth, Social Affairs, Culture and Sport, emphasizes the crucial sociopolitical importance of childcare for the professional activity of women. In view of the current difficulties, many parents experience spontaneous closings and reduced childcare times. At this point, the call for a faster solution to ensure reliable support will be louder. The SPD group has therefore asked the magistrate for the situation in childcare.

The city is under pressure to find solutions immediately that offer families in Friedrichsdorf reliable care for their children. Initiatives to enroll qualified educators, including from abroad, could be a solution to achieve long -term improvements.
