Viennese Private Kindergarten "Pearl Sea" is Insolvent: Approval is Withdrawn

Operations could cease as early as Monday, announced the responsible city councilor Christoph Wiederkehr (NEOS) on Thursday. The parents of around 200 affected children are asked to immediately contact the kindergarten department MA 10.

According to Wiederkehr, the insolvency leads to the revocation of the operating license by the control authority for Viennese kindergartens - this is the MA 11 (Viennese Children and Youth Welfare). This measure is provided for by the Viennese Kindergarten Act to ensure child protection, emphasized the city councilor.

Association Can No Longer Meet Payments

According to the announcement, the association can no longer meet its financial obligations. This primarily includes the payments of the staff's salaries, rent, electricity and heating. As a result, the care of the children can no longer be maintained, it says.

It is expected that from Monday onwards, no operations will take place at the locations of the kindergarten association Pearl Sea. The city, Wiederkehr assured, is actively helping the affected families in this difficult situation. A contact point will therefore be set up this coming Saturday from 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.

Consultation Without Appointment

During this time, affected parents can come to MA 10 (Thomas-Klestil-Platz 11) without an appointment or pre-registration. There, together with the large private kindergarten providers, they will receive support in finding a place, explained the city councilor. An info hotline (01 277 5555) has also been set up.
