Foster parents expressing relief over their current situation involving children in care.

In a significant move aimed at supporting families during these challenging times, the county council of Neuss has unanimously passed a resolution to reduce parents' contributions for daycare facilities and daycare services by half for the months of March, April, and May.

This decision follows a previous agreement where contributions were waived at 100% for February and 50% for March, April, and May due to the ongoing pandemic. The Youth Welfare Office had already fully waived parents' contributions in January and February.

The mayors responsible for the Youth Welfare Office's area - Jüchen, Korschenbroich, and Rommerskirchen - have agreed to this resolution. This reduction in contributions will happen regardless of whether childcare was used during this period.

The waived contributions for each month from January to May will be covered half by the parents and half by the state. This intermunicipal cooperation is subject to a final agreement between the state of North Rhine-Westfalen and the municipal associations.

It's important to note that these three municipalities contribute the same share of the fees as the state of North Rhine-Westfalen through the youth welfare office surcharge paid to the Rhine-Kreis Neuss. However, the responsible office within the Regierungspräsidium Nordrhein-Westfalen for finalizing the agreement on full and partial waiver of parental contributions for kindergartens and childcare from January to May 2021 is not explicitly identified in the provided search results.
