In October 2026, labor unions in Sassari expressed concerns regarding budget cuts affecting local nursery schools and early childhood services. The FP CGIL Nord Sardegna union reported that new procurement specifications for 2026 to 2030 would lead to a reduction in working hours for educational and auxiliary staff. Unions warned that these measures could threaten jobs and decrease the quality of childcare, specifically noting that educator to child ratios in some sections had shifted from 1:5 to 1:6.

By November 2026, new funding was announced for nursery schools in Sassari and Thiesi. The Ministry of Education and Merit provided 286,000 euros to purchase innovative educational furniture designed for safety, accessibility, inclusivity, and environmental sustainability. The allocation includes 102,000 euros for the via Quasimodo nursery, 144,000 euros for the via Fais nursery, and 40,000 euros for the municipal nursery in Thiesi.
