The new child-rearing space is housed in the former Escola Pere Calafell, sharing the premises of the municipal nursery school that opened there for this academic year. The facilities of the family space are different to those of the EBM Pere Calafell and can operate simultaneously or independently, as is the case with other municipal facilities of this type.

The space offers a meeting point and emotional support with child-rearing to generate ties and create community. The educational team is made up of two professionals in infant education, who will coordinate the different groups according to the needs of children and their families, with morning and afternoon hours available.

  • Three “family space” groups each with fifteen places, aimed at infants from when they can get around themselves, up to the age of three, accompanied by adults. Morning sessions are held from Mondays to Thursdays, 10 am to 12.30 pm, and afternoon sessions are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 3.30 pm to 6 pm.
  • Two “family and baby” groups each with twelve places, for families with new-born babies through to the point where they can get around on their own, accompanied by adults. One session a week, on Friday mornings from 9.30 am to 11 am, and Wednesday afternoons, from 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm.

Open days are being held throughout January so that interested families can go along during any of the established hours without having to sign up in advance. Registration is at the same facility, with groups due to be configured in February.

An investment of 400,000 euros was made to create this new family space, which has 168 square metres of space. In the future, with the recovery of the whole building, a musical education teaching service should also be based here.
