Dresden, Germany - Parents in Dresden will see an increase in childcare fees starting from September 1, as local school sponsors ("Schulträger") face rising costs and funding constraints.

The current cost for a kindergarten spot for a ten-hour care session in Dresden is around 188 euros per month for the first child. For the second child, the cost is slightly lower at 155 euros per month. However, from September 1, these costs will rise. The kindergarten fee for the first child will increase by approximately three euros per month, while the fee for the second child will go up by six euros per month.

The increase in childcare fees is primarily due to significantly rising personnel costs and economic factors affecting the city of Dresden. Additionally, rising material costs also contribute to the increase.
