Nursery Drop-off in Spain
Find a nursery place, drop your toddler off and hear how the day went.
In Spain under-threes go to an escuela infantil (still often called la guardería), where places (plazas) can have waiting lists and the first days are a short periodo de adaptación. Staff use tú, children wear a babi, and lunch is the big midday comida. The cards follow one family from the first visit through drop-off and pick-up.
