The full price of private kindergarten Penguin is € 840.00 for the first age group and € 804.00 for the second age period. Parents are divided into pay grades on the basis of a single application for a reduced kindergarten fee. Parents submit applications to the competent Center for Social Work. In decisions issued to parents by the CSD, the share of subsidies granted by the state to parents refers exclusively to public kindergartens.
The municipality of the child’s permanent residence recognizes 85% of the subsidy to the parents, depending on the pay grade, as it would recognize in a public kindergarten (ie 15% less than in a public kindergarten at the price of a public kindergarten). The prices of public kindergarten programs vary between municipalities and so do the prices of subsidies.

The municipality recognizes 85% of the subsidy for parents with two children in the kindergarten, according to the pay grade, the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports covers 70% of the economic price of the public kindergarten, the difference to the full price of the Private Penguin kindergarten is the parents’ obligation.
