Supervision emergency in Lochhausen: Parents urgently demand solutions!

Lochhausen, München, Deutschland - in Lochhausen, an emerging district of Munich, burns the air. Farida Flentje and her family had settled here in the hope of a green, quiet area. But reality looks different: the infrastructure cannot keep up with the rapid population growth. Over the next ten years, the population will increase to almost 13,000, and with it the challenges in childcare. Flentje received no childcare place for her son, who will be schooled in September. A problem that affects many parents, as [sueddeutsche.de reports] (https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/muenchen-neubauboom-schulen- Kinderbetreuung-proteste-li.3264336).

The primary school on Schubinweg has 17 classes and only offers 163 lunch care places - all of which are occupied. This year, 44 cancellations had to be sent for childcare places, while 27 children are on the waiting list. 50 places are available in an urban after -school care center, but also with long waiting lists. The situation is so tense that some parents have already signed applications for the expansion of the primary school to increase the support offers.

parents demand quick solutions

The parents are frustrated and demand more commitment from the city. Solutions are required to improve afternoon care and to secure physical education. Suggestions such as an expansion of the gym and the creation of multifunctional specialist rooms are in the room. "We urgently need support!" Said Denissa Neumann, one of the mothers affected. There are also considerations on the part of the city to build a new primary school. However, the timing and the location are still unclear what the uncertainty for the parents is, so writes [tz.de] (https://www.tz.de/muenchen/stadt/hallo-muenchen/muenchen-lochhausen-kinder- afternoon- Grundschule-sorgen-9220886.html).

Another obstacle is the shortage of skilled workers, which can be felt particularly in the field of education. According to a current report, the shortage of skilled workers in the area of ​​early childhood education is the most pressing problem. This only further exacerbates the situation in Lochhausen and makes many parents look for solutions. The day care center in the Henschelstraße development area, which is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2024, could be a step in the right direction, but direct needs are already enormous.

• possibilities for improvement:
  • Establishment of sporting groups in the afternoon
  • Creation of additional midday care in the club home of SV Lochhausen
  • Possibility of sharing after -house places
  • Expansion of the elementary school

The parents and representatives of the city administration have already founded working groups to meet the challenges together. A wide variety of care forms are to be examined, whether lunch care, bound all -day classes or open all -day offers. But an immediate solution remains a hot iron, while the number of newcomers in Lochhausen is steadily increasing.

The city has to act, because the demands of the parents are clear: every minute counts. From 2026 there is a legal right to all -day care that cannot be ignored. The quality of life in Lochhausen can only be preserved through effective measures and the parents' uncertainty - there is something for everyone involved.
