Abstract

Spain is a key member of the European Union, which stands out with its high enrollment rates and comprehensive early childhood education system among EU countries. Early childhood education (Educación Infantil, 0-6 years old) in Spain is a non-compulsory stage in the country’s education system. Over 95% of Spanish children start school at the age of 3, and the enrollment rate of children aged 3 to 5 is close to 100%. The study explores the unique features of early childhood education in Spain, emphasizing its internationalized educational framework, comprehensive educational objectives and content, relatively well-developed welfare system, as well as the emphasis on children’s foreign language proficiency and digital literacy, provide valuable insights for the development of early childhood education in other countries.
