Spanish towns expand child‑care programs

Entities: María Martín · Jacobo Pérez · Ministry of Equality · Plan Corresponsables · Government of La Rioja

Overview

In early July, several Spanish municipalities introduced new initiatives that combined dual‑training workshops with free preschool services for local residents. By the end of the month, the focus shifted to expanding summer child‑care facilities, known as ludotecas. In Caldas de Reis, Galicia, the summer ludoteca served around 200 children with a range of creative, sports, and nature activities, while in Cenicero, La Rioja, participation rose to 60 children and the municipality offered 370 places, up from 290 the previous year. The expansion is part of the regional Plan Corresponsables, co‑financed by the Government of La Rioja and the Ministry of Equality, creating thousands of slots across more than a hundred towns and generating hundreds of local staff contracts to support families during the holiday season.
