Islanders will receive up to 800 euros for kindergarten: how to apply
On the island, more than 6,000 families can receive up to 800 euros for kindergarten for children aged 0-3 years by applying before October 31.
More than 6,000 families on the island can receive money for kindergarten from local authorities! You can apply now until October 31.
This assistance is intended for parents of young children (from 0 to 3 years old) to make it easier for them to combine work and family. 1,350,000 euros have been allocated for this, but if necessary, the amount can be increased to 2,000,000 euros. Each family can receive up to 800 euros.
This money can be spent on kindergarten fees, childcare, hygiene, food and clothing for kindergarten. And you will be able to choose a kindergarten for your child yourself. The main thing is that this kindergarten has a permit from the Ministry of Education of the Canary Islands. Decisions on granting assistance will be made, first of all, taking into account the financial situation of the family.
Local head Rosa Davila says that this money is their way of supporting families and ensuring equal opportunities for all. She added that they want no child to be left without kindergarten due to lack of money, and that parents can work with peace of mind knowing that their child is in safe hands. According to her, this assistance is a great support for many families who find it difficult to pay for kindergarten. Last time, 2,034 families applied, which is 36% more than before.
Employment and Education Advisor Efraín Medina noted that this assistance is important not only for families, but also for creating jobs in the educational field and supporting kindergartens on the island. He emphasized that investing in the education of children under 3 years old is an investment in a fair society, where parents can combine work and family, and where everyone has equal opportunities. Thanks to this assistance, many mothers and fathers will be able to go to work more calmly.
