Children’s groups: their number is growing, but there are still few places and the fight for subsidies continues. What problems do they encounter? | Czechia

Children’s groups have experienced a big boom in recent years, even in view of the critical lack of places in the collection. Provide regular school attendance for children from six months to the end of compulsory school attendance, usually open for 12 and 24 children. At least one person per child.

In 2015, there were 52 children’s groups, at the end of last year there were 1,632. There are currently 1,727 of them for more than 23,000 children, said Deputy Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Vra Kovov (STAN), who has been dealing with this issue for a long time. This is not just a waste of capacity in terms of coins, they are a full-fledged alternative offering something that you can’t find anywhere else. They just have two opportunities to move to work, they are not children for those years, she added.
