Childcare that fits a job

A day school in every municipality.

The problem

Many parents in the district would like to work more but cannot find childcare. Daycare centres have long waiting lists. After school and in the holidays there is often no care at all. Families suffer, and so do firms looking for skilled staff.

My position

Parents should decide for themselves how much they work. That needs childcare that fits their working hours. Anyone who pays for childcare should be able to deduct the cost from their taxes. Municipalities should find it easier to offer day schools.

What I promise

  • You find a place for your child nearby, also in the school holidays.
  • You pay less tax when you pay for childcare.

What I will do

  • A day school in every municipality
  • Deduct childcare costs from taxes
  • Simpler approval for daycare centres

What I have already done

On the municipal council I won longer opening hours for after-school clubs.

  • Longer opening hours for after-school clubs

    PostulateGR Nr. 2022/12619 September 2022Accepted

    The town government was asked to look into earlier and longer opening hours. Since August 2024, two after-school clubs open at 7 am.

Do you agree?
