Strong daycare center - strong wages
On April 4, 2025, the state capital of Mainz announced that Mainz is the first municipality in Rhineland-Palatinate to be allowed to carry out a large-scale job upgrade for its nursery school teachers because it was able to meet the requirements of the municipal supervisory authority (ADD). The Mainz approach can now serve as a model for the entire state.

The state capital of Mainz will be allowed to permanently upgrade around 50 percent of childcare worker positions in the future. These workers will receive a higher salary once they have completed 160 hours of recognized further training and are performing the corresponding tasks. This makes Mainz the first municipality in Rhineland-Palatinate to be allowed to upgrade the positions of its educators on a large scale because it was able to meet the requirements of the local government supervisory authority (ADD). Mainz's approach can now serve as a model for the entire state.
