Kindergartens in Santa Cruz are where children up to three years old begin their educational journey. Here, children develop comprehensively, learn new things, and prepare for school. Kindergartens help parents balance work and family by providing quality childcare.
In addition, the City Council plans to abolish fees for attending these kindergartens in September. This means that as early as 2026, "Faina" and "Tara" will become free for all families.
The Mayor of Santa Cruz, José Manuel Bermúdez, noted: "We want no family to refuse kindergarten because of money. This is another step towards making these services accessible to everyone."
