Care places, especially for children under three, are in high demand in many places. A childcare entitlement exists regardless of whether the parents work or not. However, the entitlement is not directed toward a specific daycare or daycare facility place. Parents' right to choose and request only applies to places that are actually available, i.e. it is subject to the proviso that places are actually available in the desired daycare facility or with the selected daycare provider. Parents therefore want to find out in good time about what is on offer locally. In North Rhine-Westphalia, you can use an online search engine to look for childcare places in your area. With just a few clicks, the free Kita-Finder provides information about places in facilities, the educational concept of the facilities, opening hours and contact details of the contact persons.

Among other things, the calculation of the parental contribution depends on the parents' income, the amount of time spent in care, and the number of children in the family who are entitled to child benefit. Information on the amount is available on the website of your municipality. If you have questions about the amount and determination of parental contributions, contact the responsible youth welfare office.
