The San Fernando de Henares City Council, in collaboration with the Community of Madrid, has launched the “Patios Abiertos” (Open Playgrounds) program for the 2026-2027 academic year, which will allow the opening of playgrounds at the CEIP Guernica and CEIP El Jarama schools.

This free initiative is aimed at students in the 2nd cycle of Early Childhood Education and Primary Education from the municipality, and its objective is to meet the work-life balance needs of families. Each educational center will have 20 spots available.
Access to the program will be through in-person pre-registration at the educational center where the activity takes place, on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached. Registration will be done daily, at the time of dropping off the child, and cannot be done on previous days or in the morning.
Upon dropping off the child, a registration form must be completed with the guardian's details, contact phone numbers, the child's full name, age, school, drop-off and pick-up times, as well as the details of authorized persons for pick-up.

"For more information, it is recommended to consult the document “Información Patios Abiertos” and read the section “Condiciones Utilización de Patios Abiertos”."
