Starting this summer, Bremen will once again offer all children a place in daycare. Thanks to a new collaboration between the departments of Children and Education and Labor, Social Affairs, Youth and Integration, children from refugee families will have easier access to daycare places. In addition to the approximately 190 children who have already been assigned a place, 50 more children from refugee accommodations have been officially registered, and around 40 more are currently being actively placed. The goal is to get all children into daycare, especially those with language support needs.
