Have the amount of after-school care fees set

Here you will find information on the setting of after-school care fees.

  • Basic information

    After-school care centers provide care, education and educational support for school children until the end of elementary school. This means that there is more than just lunch and supervision with homework. It is also about group experiences, skills for building social relationships, cooperation, leisure activities, creativity and much more. The children are involved in the planning and organization of the daily routine in the after-school care center and the educational program.

    An after-school care fee must be paid in advance for each of your children registered for after-school care. Your income and the number of your children will be taken into account appropriately.

    Requirements

    The child is registered for after-school care with a parents' association, private commercial provider or in day care in Bremen.

  • Procedure

    • Parents enter into a childcare agreement with the facility. The facility determines the amount of the parent fee. 
    • Parents can apply to the parental fee office for a subsidy toward the parental fee.
