Mothers have discussed such intentions in public at a forum (mamyciuklubas.lt) received more than just a shrug. One woman was outraged that the current “supermoms” could no longer keep their children and wanted to push them to daycare as soon as possible. Others were concerned about wanting to bring “everything to the penny that belongs” to the state.

You put your child in kindergarten and then you go to work

In a word, divided into several fields. There was no shortage of surprises, nor was there any advice. One of them is clear and concise: if you have already sent your child to kindergarten, then go to work.

However, the period of adaptation of the child in kindergarten was also discussed, it is not so short. Therefore, it is a great opportunity to get your baby used to the new environment before his mother needs to return to work.

Mothers who raised multiple children were also interested in the opportunity. They said they would like to take the older ones to the kindergarten so that they could keep the little ones. You were asked what to do in that case, if you have the right to do it when you receive maternity benefits.

When asked if a mother with parental permission can send a child to kindergarten without losing benefits, the adviser to the Minister of Social Security and Labor (SADM) Eglė Samoškaitė confirmed that she will not lose benefits, but there is one but.

You will have to pay for kindergarten

During parental leave, the mother can let the child enter kindergarten, and as a result, she will not lose benefits, but will pay for kindergarten.

In Lithuania, parental leave can last until the child turns three, but the third year of parenting is not paid, and the first and second years can be paid according to the chosen model.

It is possible to choose to care for a child until he turns one, then the benefit reaches 77.58 percent. of the salary “on paper”, or to care for the child until he is two years old, then, in the first year, the benefit reaches 54.31 percent. of the salary “on paper”, in the second – 31.03 percent. of the salary “on paper”.

Assists erratically

According to E. Samoškaitė, she will not lose benefits if she is raising a child or if she decides to let her old man enter kindergarten.

When asked by representatives of the Vilnius City Municipality if there are many mothers who wish to take their children to the nursery with parental permission, they said that they do not collect such information and therefore cannot reply.

Head of the Marketing and Communication Department Specialist Dovilė Ibianskaitė noted that mothers with parental leave generally take children to kindergartens, only the attendance of those children is unstable.
