Romania is implementing a national program to expand childcare infrastructure, funded by the state budget and European Union resources through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

In early August 2026, Interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan inaugurated a new 60-place nursery in Bucharest’s Sector 6. This facility, featuring specialized medical and civil-protection capabilities, was part of an initiative to build approximately 100 nurseries nationwide. By mid-August 2026, the program reached a milestone with the inauguration of its 100th nursery in Cluj-Napoca, a 110-place facility adhering to high energy-efficiency standards.

As of August 12, 2026, officials have emphasized the urgency of the PNRR timeline. To secure full funding, the government expects to inaugurate 10 additional nurseries before an August 31 deadline. This urgency is part of a broader administrative challenge, as approximately 4,500 total projects must be officially received by the August 31 deadline to prevent the loss of significant European investment.
