Child care in the Canary Islands

The childcare - educational system is going to change here, as the government cutting off the budget... Up to 40 kids in the class!

The nurseries (1-3y.o.)hours mostly 7 to 16. In some places is difficult to get place, there is not enough of them. But always there are private ones, few hundreds monthly.

Kindergardens (4-6y.o.) are attached to primary schools, as they are called pre-school education. They are covered by government, except of the food (around 100 euros per month).

The private ones, prices depends on the school system. English speaking, bilingual, spanish, ...

Personally I found system not very good, too short hours, complicated for working families, not so good after-school care.
