At the moment the situation in the public schools of Lugano is the following:

The kids go to school from ca. 8. Protected content and 13. Protected content . In the middle there is a big lunch break and the kids go at home to eat or go to the school canteen. There is a salary limit Protected content working both parents) and parents who earn more have to organize themselves con babysitters or send the kids to private schools. It`s not possible to work part-time and many mothers risk not to find a job anymore when the children have finished school. In the kindergarden, the children can eat and usually stay from 8.30 till 15.30.

There has been a votation to cancel this limit, but the city has financial problems so they freezed the decision. Now it´s possibile that they will repeat the decision.

In Ticino there are a few cities that offer the school canteen for everybody, but there are also city where you don´t even have the service in the kindergarden. If you have any questions about the topic you can send me a message.
