Private day-care centers are therefore private first cycle nursery schools. They represent the largest private education network in the country, and in 2022 they served about 46.7% of all children in this age group. The State is not obliged to guarantee free schooling before the age of 3. However, the promotion of preschool education seems to be a priority for P. Sánchez's government, which has launched a 670.1 million euro plan for 2021 aimed at increasing the number of public and free places in nursery schools. As Spain is a state made up of autonomous communities (C.C.A.A.), they have decided to distribute this money unequally among public and subsidized schools throughout the country. As a consequence, in some C.C.A.A., private kindergartens suffer strong competition from public ones.
