The aid, of between 800 and 1,200 euros per student, will be used for nursery expenses, including private ones, and is retroactive
Households with children under 3 years of age in which both parents earn up to 50,000 euros per year may apply for the ‘Check guarde’, an aid of between 800 and 1,200 euros per year per family to meet childcare expenses. In the case of individual taxation, the income cap will be 30,000 euros. The new aid, which will be retroactive, is intended for families who take their children to authorized private educational centers or municipal nursery schools that do not occupy places supported by public funds during the 2022-2023 academic year.
The model does not fit the spirit of the Ministry’s plan, but it does fit the purpose of the Ministry of arranging vacancies
The amount of this aid, intended to defray the costs of registration, schooling and care for students between 0 and 3 years old, is set at a maximum of 1,200 euros per student, and the budget reserved for scholarships is 3.4 million of euros. With these figures, the Ministry of Education calculates that there will be 3,500 households that can benefit from the aid.
The approved income thresholds are higher than usual in this type of aid, since the intention of the Community is that average working families can opt for them and not only the lowest incomes. In previous similar calls, the aid has been deserted because the income criteria were very demanding.
The model does not conform to the spirit of the plan of the Ministry of Education to promote free public provision for children from 0 to 3 years, but it does fit the purpose of the Ministry of Education to finance positions also in private centers. The ‘check’ will be delivered to families that meet the requirements of the call, but parents can take their children to the school they want (within those authorized), public or private, which in practice does not differ of a concert.
