The establishment of a bilingual kindergarten in the cross-border region of Herzogenrath (Germany) and Kerkrade (Netherlands) faces significant challenges, particularly in aligning daycare regulations and ensuring the mutual recognition of professional qualifications for staff.

With expert support from ITEM – the Institute for Transnational and Euregional Cross-border Cooperation and Mobility, this b-solutions analysis aims to identify practical and sustainable solutions to overcome these obstacles for a bilingual kindergarten where children can grow and thrive in a linguistically and culturally inclusive environment.
