Santiago del Teide Launches Christmas Childcare Program for Working Parents
The Santiago del Teide City Council is launching a Christmas activity program for children aged three to 12 to assist working parents during the school holiday period.
Balancing work and family life during school holidays is a common challenge for families in Spain. To help, the Santiago del Teide City Council is launching a Christmas activity program to support parents who are working over the festive period.
The council is offering 65 spots for children aged three to 12. The program will run from December 23, 2026, to January 8, 2027, at three local public schools. To be eligible, children must be registered residents and enrolled in schools within the municipality.
Parents can choose between two schedules: a basic session from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., or an extended option until 3:00 p.m. that includes lunch.
This initiative is part of the council’s effort to provide childcare when schools are closed. However, spots are limited and not guaranteed. Interested parents must apply using the online forms provided for each school. The council has yet to announce the registration deadline or the selection process should demand exceed the number of available places.
By offering these holiday camps, Santiago del Teide aims to ease the pressure on local families and ensure that parents can continue their work schedules without disruption while schools are on break.
