Rewrite the daycare law and improve staff ratios

The BSW wants to rewrite the state daycare law and give daycare centers and after-school care more funding and staff. Falling numbers of children should not lead to closures but be used to improve the staff-to-child ratio.

The BSW wants a new daycare law. Daycare centers and after-school care should get more money and staff. Each staff member should look after fewer children. Daycare centers should not close when there are fewer children.

According to the platform, a daycare worker in Brandenburg looks after considerably more children than the national average: ten children over age three and, from 2025, four children under three. Staff-cost subsidies should in the future also count time for substitutes and training. The service should meet demand across the whole state. The BSW wants to continue the state funding program "Kiez-Kita" and extend it to more facilities.

„Die längst überfällige Neufassung des Kita-Gesetzes, das Eltern, Einrichtungsträgern und Kommunen seit zwei Wahlperioden versprochen wurde, werden wir in Angriff nehmen.“

Translation: We will tackle the long-overdue revision of the daycare law, which has been promised to parents, providers, and municipalities for two legislative terms.

    More staff and higher subsidies for daycare expand a public service within the existing system.

Make daycare and lunch free of charge

The BSW wants early childhood education, including nursery care for the youngest, to be free. Lunch in daycare centers, after-school care, and elementary schools should also become free in order to ease the burden on families.

The BSW wants nursery and daycare to be free. Lunch should also cost nothing. This applies to daycare, after-school care, and elementary schools. Families should have to spend less money.

The state is already phasing out fees for children aged three to six. In the platform's view, middle-income families nonetheless remain heavily burdened, most of all for nursery care. The BSW wants to counter this. According to the platform, free provision should also help people decide to have more children.

„Bildung, auch die frühkindliche Bildung, muss kostenfrei angeboten werden, damit sich Menschen wieder für mehr Kinder entscheiden.“

Translation: Education, including early childhood education, must be offered free of charge so that people once again decide to have more children.
