says: “Unfortunately, the daycare will be closed tomorrow due to strikes.” How can replacement care be organized quickly? We will inform you here about your rights, obligations and options if your child’s daycare center goes on strike.
Important: Inform your boss as soon as possible and never stay away from work without excuse. This could result in a warning. Mostly there is a solution that is practical for both sides. Perhaps you can do the most important tasks from home. Or take your child to work for a few hours. Or you take turns with your partner and everyone takes care of the children for a few hours.
Don’t forget: The other parents are no different in this situation: ask friends who are friends and the parents of friends of your child whether you can do emergency care together. Perhaps one parent can easily stay at home and take care of two or three other children. Or a mom takes over the morning – and is replaced by another parent in the afternoon. And often the simplest solution is the best: You take a day off – and do something nice with your child.
By the way: In some cities and municipalities, emergency care is sometimes organized. Inquiries cost nothing!
