The municipalities of Kirchdorf am Inn and Mühlheim am Inn are expanding their 15-year cooperation regarding childcare and educational facilities. An investment of approximately 500,000 euros will be used to increase capacity through structural improvements.

In Mühlheim, the project involves creating a fourth full classroom, a workshop, and redesigned spaces for all-day schooling to accommodate students from Kirchdorf. This phase is expected to conclude by February 2027. In Kirchdorf, a former primary school will be converted to house three kindergarten groups and one nursery group, providing 66 kindergarten places and 12 nursery spots. This initiative reflects a broader trend in the Ried district of using cooperative models to optimize structures and expand childcare.
