Explanation

In Germany, parents have the right and responsibility to decide on their children's early education, including whether to enroll them in kindergarten. This principle is rooted in the Basic Law, which protects parental rights and the right to education. Therefore, the decision rests with the parents, who are best positioned to represent their children's interests.
