Early Childhood Education Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access subsidized monthly fees for nursery schools in Spain to help manage the costs of early childcare.

This scheme provides financial assistance to help families cover the costs of nursery school for young children.

Who it's for

This support is intended for parents who have children enrolled in nursery schools. It is designed to assist families as they navigate the costs associated with early childhood education.

What you get

The benefit consists of subsidized monthly fees for accredited centers. This subsidy helps reduce the monthly financial burden of paying for childcare at approved facilities.

What it costs you

To take advantage of this support, you must have your child enrolled in a public or 'concertado' center. A 'concertado' center is a facility that is privately managed but receives government funding to help make education more accessible.

The catch to know

A key factor to keep in mind is that public nursery school spots are very limited. Even if you qualify for the subsidy, finding an available place in a public facility can be difficult.

How to apply

  1. Identify an accredited nursery school or 'concertado' center.
  2. Confirm the center is part of the subsidy program.
  3. Follow the enrollment process for your chosen center to access the subsidized rates.
