Nursery Pickup in Spain
Collecting your child from nursery in Spain: how the day went, notices from the teacher and who picks up tomorrow.
In Spain, under-threes go to the 'escuela infantil' or 'guarde', and from three to six to the infantil classes at the 'cole'. Classes often have names like 'los Pollitos', parents call the teacher 'la seño', and anyone else collecting your child needs a signed authorisation. The cards follow a parent arriving late at pickup, hearing how the day went and getting the week's notices.
