Of these children, 41,547 are boys, and 38,937 are girls. This indicates that slightly more boys are enrolled in full-day care compared to girls.

This record-breaking figure underscores the importance of early childhood education and care in Saxony-Anhalt, and the state's commitment to providing quality childcare infrastructure for its growing population of young children. Further research is needed to understand the specific factors contributing to this increase and its implications for early childhood development, parental employment opportunities, and the demand for childcare infrastructure in the region.
