In a day care center, you can agree individually with the childminder how long and on which days your child should be cared for. Depending on the number of hours, the childminder receives a corresponding ongoing cash benefit, which is based on the weekly care time of 10 to 50 hours of care in accordance with the statutes for the implementation of child day care (granting of ongoing cash benefits and charging of cost contributions) in Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe. Parents pay a cost contribution of € 1.56 per hour of childcare to the town. Additional costs incurred are discussed individually and independently with the childminder.
The child day care office will be happy to advise you on the various options available.
