The Senate has decided to reimburse parents for the daycare fees for the months of January to March because childcare was often restricted during the pandemic. Some parents of crèche children, who have not experienced any restrictions in real terms, now want to donate the money they get back from the city to families in need.
The initiative was launched by Miriam Rothmund, mother of two children in Bremen-Mitte. “Our one and a half year old son goes to a day nursery and there are only nine children in his group. For him, the care in the emergency care mode was and is not restricted at all, he could go to daycare as normal, ”she explains. “So now I am getting compensation from the city for a service that I have received all the time and that I have used,” says the 39-year-old lawyer. Therefore, her family wants to pass on the reimbursed money – in her case 430 euros per month – to needy families in Bremen.
