The Freiburg Regional Council (RP) is funding the construction of the new daycare center on Schulstrasse in Buggingen (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald) with around one million euros. The new kindergarten offers 30 places for children under three and 70 places for children over three years of age. The new daycare center costs a total of five million euros.
“The compatibility of family and work is very important to me. That’s why I’m happy when we can financially support childcare facilities. With this new daycare center, the care offerings for preschool children in Buggingen will be significantly improved. “Especially in the Corona crisis, the great importance of good childcare offers becomes clear, said District President Bärbel Schäfer.
421,300 euros of the funding come from the federal government’s newly launched “Childcare Financing” 2020-2021 ”investment program. These funds are also used to fund equipment investments for a kitchen as well as the creation of a space for retreat and differentiation for children with disabilities. The daycare places for children over three years of age are funded by the RP through the state renovation program with around 600,000 euros.
Funding for the daycare center was not yet possible in 2019 because the funds from the federal government’s “Childcare Funding” 2017-2020 investment program were insufficient to fund all of the requested facilities. Finally, as part of the economic and crisis management package to deal with the consequences of the corona pandemic, with the new version of the investment program, the federal government created the basis for further financial aid for investments in day care facilities and child day care. Funding is still possible for investment measures that have already started, as in the case of the municipality of Buggingen.
