1. INTRODUCTION
Starting from the problem that more and more children speak poor or no German at all when starting school and are sometimes insufficiently socialised, this concept names corresponding goals and measures. The concept serves as a basis for strengthening work in the area of Early Support in the municipality of Root. Taking into account health, social and linguistic aspects, existing offers will be supplemented, networked and new projects injected if necessary. For the area of early childhood, it should be emphasised that the main responsibility for the upbringing of children will always remain with the parents or other guardians. 2. YESTERDAY: WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR On behalf of the Lucerne Government Council, the Department of Public School Education and the Department of Social Affairs and Society jointly developed the "Early Support Concept Canton Lucerne". The Government Council of the Canton of Lucerne approved the Early Support Concept Canton Lucerne on 2 July 2014. The aforementioned project group has initiated the following in the area of Early Support since summer 2014 in a total of 9 meetings:
- Rough concept Early Support (Appendix 1)
- Expansion of DaZ lessons in playgroups (Appendix 2)

The partial revision of the Public School Education Act launched in spring 2015 has now been completed. It states that parents can be obliged to send their child to an offer for linguistic early support before starting kindergarten if the child does not have sufficient German skills. Municipalities must establish corresponding offers by summer 2018. 4. TOMORROW: GOALS OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF ROOT Based on the Early Support Concept Canton Lucerne, the rough concept Early Support, the status assessment by unicef and the existing offers in Root, the following goals are to be pursued:
