How early childhood education is supported in the Balearic Islands

Responsible for this content: Frank Menze

The notice explains the conditions under which facilities for the youngest children can receive public funding.

For early childhood education in the Balearic Islands, the official text sets out a goal: it should be accessible to more children, gradually become free of charge, and be both equitable and high-quality. This also affects families in Mallorca.

Public and private facilities may qualify for funding if they meet the legal requirements, are approved by the education authorities, and belong to the public network or have entered into a corresponding agreement. The funding is intended, among other things, to address shortages of places, reduce disparities, and support particularly vulnerable groups.

Subsidies for attending a facility and for meals are also available, provided the relevant requirements are met. For private facilities that take on public educational responsibilities, funding for their groups may be provided through such an agreement. The flat-rate amount allocated for this is set in the Balearic Islands’ budget.
