Promotion of plusKITAs

Förderung der plusKITAs

Promotion of plusKITAs

With the new Child Education Act, which came into force on August 1, 2020, the subsidies for language support and for the promotion of plusKITAs were combined and increased from 70 to 100 million euros per kindergarten year.

Increased subsidies for the plusKITAs

Funding is provided for socio-educational specialists in child daycare facilities where a high proportion of children with special educational support needs, in particular language support needs, attend daycare facilities.

Each plusKITA team should employ a socio-educational specialist with at least half a position, who generally has proven special experience and knowledge in the implementation of everyday language education and support.

Further information on language education and observation as well as tips on implementation and design can be found in the brochure "Alltagsintegrierte Sprachbildung im Elementarbereich - Grundlagen für Nordrhein-Westfalen", which you can download via the link below or order the print version free of charge by quoting publication number 2065:
