Childcare fees depend on the specific daycare offering, the weekly care days, the child’s age, and any additional services such as meals or specialised programmes. Many facilities offer flexible models to accommodate different family needs.
In the City of Lucerne, families can reduce their childcare costs through childcare vouchers (kiBon). Parents living in other municipalities in the canton of Lucerne are advised to contact their local municipality directly. The vouchers are applied for the municipality of residence and are based on the parents’ income and employment level. The amount of support varies depending on the municipality and the level of care. The aim of these vouchers is to ensure access to affordable, high-quality childcare. Parents can choose freely between providers, while the funding follows the child rather than the institution.

In the canton of Lucerne, financial support for childcare costs is available. Parents can apply for childcare vouchers, which directly reduce part of the costs for family-based childcare (e.g. in daycares or with day mothers). The specific conditions and amounts are determined by each municipality. These vouchers are jointly funded by the canton and the municipalities and are intended to help families reduce childcare expenses.
In addition, employees may, under certain conditions, receive childcare contributions from their employer, which can further ease the financial burden. Besides direct contributions, there are also tax benefits: childcare costs can be deducted in the tax return as external childcare expenses, which can further reduce the overall costs.
