Kita Tausendfüßler in Dörnhagen: Core renovation completed after water damage!

In Dörnhagen there is a lot of hustle and bustle, because the "Millet" daycare center is facing a fundamental renovation. After only one and a half years of operation, extensive measures had to be taken due to serious water damage. The cause was quickly found: a leaky revision flap of a rainwater fall pipe triggered major problems that now have to be fixed with total damage of 335,000 euros. There are 220,000 euros on structural measures alone, while the remaining costs for the accommodation and reorganization of the children had to be applied to containers, such as hna.de reported.

The affected premises are urgently needed. Stock stains on the baseboards illustrate the dimension of the problem. Three group rooms had to be completely renovated, with some of the children moving to other rooms, such as the former gymnasium and a bedroom. To temporarily accommodate the children, gray containers were set up in the front area of ​​the daycare center. But these containers will now be dismantled from August 4th so that the daycare center can return to their normal condition on time for the new daycare year. The start of the new year 2025/26 is planned for mid -August.

Current status of the renovation work

A look beyond the borders of Dörnhagen shows that other daycare centers are also affected by similar challenges. For example, the “Millet Footlers” daycare center in Marienthal is also extensively renovated. This leads to a move for children and employees for a year and a half after Zwickau-Auerbach, since ongoing operation is not possible during the construction work. With an expansion of the infrastructure, you plan to modernize the rooms, to renew roofs and even to install a photovoltaic system, such as Radiozwickau.de.

funding for renovation

Another exciting point is the provision of funding for these and similar projects. The Free State of Saxony supports the creation and maintenance of childcare places in day care centers and offers financial support for conversions, renovations and equipment, as described on ksv-sachsen.de. The responsible youth welfare office can submit carriers in order to receive financial resources for necessary investments. This is a step in the right direction to sustainably secure the quality of early childhood education.

Overall, it remains to be seen how developments in the "Tausendfüßler" day care center continue to progress. The chances are good that the children will soon be able to play and learn again in a protected and safe environment.
