Description

The funding program "Assistants in Kindergartens" in Upper Austria supports legal entities (associations, parishes, municipalities) in hiring educational assistants for the inclusive care of children with special needs. The goal is to promote an inclusive educational landscape in which children requiring additional support are optimally accompanied in the regular kindergarten routine. Through the financial subsidy for personnel costs, additional assistant hours can be realized, which are allocated by the specialist advisory service for integration. An automated recording of service logs and on-site attendance ensures the proper use of the funding and secures the quality of the services provided.

Interested legal entities can submit applications at any time, as this is an ongoing funding opportunity. A prerequisite for funding is, on the one hand, the sponsorship of a kindergarten in Upper Austria and, on the other hand, the official allocation of assistant hours by the specialist advisory service for integration. The disbursement requirement consists exclusively of the proven personnel costs for assistant staff, ensuring transparent processing. The program thus sustainably promotes inclusive pedagogy and contributes to strengthening equal opportunities and participation for children with special needs in early childhood education.
