The Governing Council has greenlit the funding for this call, with applications set to open soon after its official publication. These grants are intended for minors born, or with an expected birth, before January 1, 2027, who are enrolled or have a reserved place in an authorized private center for the 2026/27 academic year.

The grant amounts will range between 1,947 and 3,113 euros annually, depending on the family's income. In the scoring process, 7 points will be awarded to families where both parents work full-time, or in cases of a single parent in that situation, or if one works full-time and the other has a recognized permanent disability preventing them from caring for the child. If the work activity is part-time, 5 points will be assigned.

Additionally, factors such as being a large family or the existence of disability in parents or children will be considered. The regional government will also facilitate access to these grants for victims of violence against women, reinforcing support for vulnerable groups.

Exceptionally, children over 3 years old who need to remain an additional year in the first cycle of Early Childhood Education due to special educational needs, as accredited by the Early Intervention Team, may apply for these grants. Likewise, grants awarded in the 2025/26 academic year may be extended, provided they are requested and the requirements continue to be met.

Since 2019, schooling at this stage has been free across the entire network of public Early Childhood Education centers in the Community of Madrid. With this initiative, the autonomous executive aims to strengthen families' freedom of choice, facilitate work-life balance, and promote equal opportunities in access to education.
