#goesanotherway - Childcare online

According to the latest information from our federal government, it is still unclear when childcare for nursery, kindergarten, and elementary school children can be resumed. This (lack of) information presents you as parents with a huge challenge and brings great uncertainties with it. Due to the relaxation of the entitlement to an emergency care place, it is now sometimes sufficient if one parent works in a system-relevant profession (Bavaria) or the employer confirms that the employee is indispensable. You can find a list of the current daycare regulations per federal state in our Online magazine.

But how do parents, who still do not have this requirement and must perform their daily working hours in the home office, ensure the care of their children for the foreseeable future?

For emergencies and short-term care shortages, famPLUS has a long-standing and very high-quality cooperation with the Emergency Moms - a childcare (emergency) service for working parents. The emergency moms have been working under high pressure to create a good and easily accessible solution for all parents working from home and have launched a new offering: the Online Childcare – accessible to all families throughout Germany, both for private and business customers.
