Day care:

If child day care is used, the local public youth welfare agency levies the parental contributions in accordance with § 18 Abs. 2 in conjunction with § 17 KitaG. Pursuant to Paragraph 17(1) of the KitaG, the persons entitled to custody contribute to the expenses incurred for child day care within the meaning of Paragraph 17(3) of the KitaG with their parental contributions and with a meal allowance, the amount of which is limited to the average saved own expenses for lunch. Since the parental contributions pursuant to § 17 para. 1 sentence 1 KitaG are contributions to the costs incurred, the highest parental contribution may not exceed the calculated costs of child day care attributable proportionately to a childcare place. The parental contributions are not to be determined and levied by the day care person, but by the local public youth welfare agency. The parental contribution is determined by decision.

You may have to pay money to visit your child in day care. The burden may only be made within the framework of the so-called "reasonable burden". Contributions shall be determined according to the following criteria:

Municipalities or associations of municipalities as sponsors of the institutions can determine the parental contributions and the meal allowance by statute and levy them as fees. The meal allowance is limited to the average saved own expenses for lunch.
