New initiative
Free until 1 pm: Province lures children into childcare
The province of Upper Austria is investing ten million euros in this initiative: from September 1st, childcare in crèches will be free until 1 p.m., after which a reduced rate will apply with socially graduated amounts ranging from 25 to a maximum of 128 euros per month.

At the same time, the state has simplified the tariff system. The nursery rates are now structured in the same way as in kindergarten, which makes everything clearer. There are currently 8047 children in 848 groups in 426 crèches in Upper Austria.
67 children in Pasching day nurseries
LH Stelzer: "We are making it easier for parents of young children to combine family and career. At the same time, we are also counteracting the shortage of skilled workers and strengthening the competitiveness of the location." There are no costs for the municipalities; these are borne by the state. In Pasching, where the initiative was presented, 67 children are looked after in three crèches.
