Solving the Berlin Kita shortage

The German government will invest 5.5 Billion into solving the problem with kindergarten spaces, from which Berlin will be entitled for at least a 3-digit million sum

Many who have kids in Berlin today are faced with the Kita-Problem, meaning a problem of finding a space in daycare. According to a report from Federal Miniterin for Family Affairs Franziska Giffey, Berlin is missing 3000 daycare spaces. 

However, thanks to the new law, the local government will take measures starting next year in order to solve this problem completely. The program is planned until 2022 and it includes measures such as attracting skilled stuff through increasing salaries and providing training, improving quality of service and expanding Kita capacities.

Berlin regional government also announced in July that beginning August parents will no longer have to pay any fees to place their children in municipal daycare centers. From August 1, childcare centers in the German capital are free of charge, including for children under the age of one. 

If you are planning a family but think that you will be forced to live outside of Berlin ring due to Kita problem, its maybe time for you to rethink that and move to the city. If you invest in a Neubau (New building) project today, the initial capital you must put down at the first stage is minimum, and by the time the construction is finished, the Berlin government would have solved the issue with Kita spaces.
