Expanded allotment for childcare funds
In a significant move to improve language education for children from disadvantaged neighborhoods, the city of Bremen has secured funding for the KiQuTG program in 2026, according to a parliamentary document. While specific details for 2025 are not yet available, the focus of the new funding period will be on strengthening language promotion for children in these areas.
The funding, worth around 8.5 million euros specifically for language education in Bremen for the years 2025 and 2026, will see the establishment of functional positions for language promotion in 108 kindergartens with high support needs. This will include the introduction of specialists who target children with language challenges.
Sascha Karolin Aulepp, the Senator for Children and Education in Bremen, has emphasized the importance of good language education in kindergartens, stating that it is crucial for these children before they start school. The new funding period will also cover seven action areas nationwide, with a focus on expanding needs-based offers, improving the staff-child ratio, and promoting language education.
A coordinating position will be established in Bremen to coordinate language education measures. In addition, a separate, cross-carrier model will be implemented in Bremenhaven, covering all 57 kindergartens. This model aims to improve the quality and participation in daycare centers.
The new funding period builds on the previous "Good Kita Law" and will provide annual support of over 10 million euros for the staff-child ratio improvement measure in socially challenging areas. The largest individual measure in the new funding period is this improvement of the staff-child ratio in socially challenging areas.
This contract will bring approximately 45 million euros in federal funds to Bremen, with the funding realignment for language promotion in Bremen being based on the results of the Primo language proficiency assessment. The knowledge gained from this assessment will be shared with the teams in the kindergartens in Bremen.
While exact funding details and plans for 2025 and 2026, including goals and program design, are not yet available in the provided search results, it is known that KiQuTG programs typically aim to enhance early childhood language education, especially in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas, by providing resources, training for educators, and targeted language development activities.
