Diversity in Bergisch Gladbach: Commitment to a colorful community

The air is burning in Bergisch Gladbach! The daycare centers are facing a dramatic shortage of staff, which is causing parents and educators alike to despair. More and more parents are complaining about the unsustainable conditions in the facilities, where child care is increasingly suffering. “We are at the limit!” is how one affected mother describes her situation. It's a race against time as educators struggle with overcrowded groups and inadequate resources.

The alarming reports about the tense situation in the daycare centers continue. Complaints from parents have become louder, especially in the last few weeks. Parents often have to pick up their children at short notice because the teachers are overloaded or are absent due to illness. “We urgently need support!” demands an educator who is reaching the limits of her resilience in her facility. The pressure on existing employees is growing while the number of skilled workers continues to decline.

Unsustainable conditions for children and educators

The situation is made even worse by the constantly increasing number of registrations in daycare centers. Facilities are overcrowded and there is a lack of qualified staff. The call for a solution is getting louder and louder. “We demand more support from the city!” emphasizes a parent representative who is campaigning for an improvement in the conditions in the daycare centers. It's a race against time as the children's futures hang in the balance while educators buckle under the pressure.

Politicians are called upon to act quickly! The shortage of skilled workers in early childhood education is not a new problem, but now is the time when something needs to change. Parents can no longer stand by and watch their children's futures being jeopardized!
