Parents are the most important partners for educational professionals in child daycare. The KiBiz grants parents participation and involvement rights, giving them the opportunity to play a constructive role in the education and upbringing process. In addition, democratically legitimized local and supra-local parental involvement is also made possible (youth welfare office parents' councils and state parents' councils).

The state parents' council represents the interests of children and their parents and has a say in issues that affect daycare facilities.

The Child Education Act (KiBiz) of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia provides for elected parent representatives at city and state level. The election for the State Parents' Council in North Rhine-Westphalia was concluded on December 12, 2022 with the counting of votes at the Ministry for Children, Family, Refugees and Integration of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. 15 members were elected to the new state parents' council for daycare facilities.Further information can be found at: https://www.lebnrw.de/
