Language Promotion for Preschool Children

The program targets operators of daycare facilities and training providers in Hesse to strengthen the linguistic development of preschool children, especially those with special educational needs. It is limited to the federal state of Hesse and pursues the overarching goal of improving children's educational opportunities.

Measures for language promotion for children with special needs and the further training of professionals in this field are funded. The program supports educational materials and targets the early developmental stages of children.

The state program offers financial support in the form of grants for language promotion measures and professional training. The amount of funding varies depending on the type of measure and the associated costs, with specific flat rates being set.

Funding is tied to specific conditions that applicants must adhere to to ensure high-quality language promotion. These include conceptual requirements, the deployment of qualified personnel, and the involvement of parents.

The application process requires the submission of documents to the Darmstadt Regional Council before the start of the measure. After approval, a proof of use must be submitted, containing detailed information about the funded measures and their results.

The state program is based on specific technical and funding principles of the state of Hesse, which define the legal basis and operational framework for language promotion in preschool children. These guidelines are crucial for the implementation and assurance of the funding objectives.
