Mayor Akdeniz emphasizes the importance of childcare
On the occasion of the nationwide "Day of Childcare", Darmstadt has recognized the work of the pedagogical professionals in daycare centers and childminding services.
The importance of childcare was highlighted
Mayor Barbara Akdeniz emphasized the growing demands on childcare professionals. In addition to early childhood education and individualized support, the support of families is also becoming increasingly important.
“This responsible task deserves the highest recognition – today and every other day,” Akdeniz declared. The professionals make an important contribution daily to the development of children and to the compatibility of family and career.
Childcare Day since 2012
Childcare Workers' Day is celebrated every year on the Monday after Mother's Day. The aim of this day of action is to raise public awareness of the work of early childhood educators and childminders.
The specialists accompany children through important developmental phases, promote social skills and create stable points of reference in everyday life.
Childcare as a basis for participation
According to the social affairs officer, functioning childcare is an important foundation for equal opportunities and educational equity.
Daycare centers and childminding services are places of participation. Therefore, continued efforts must be made to improve the framework conditions and to sustainably strengthen the work of professionals.
