Altea extends deadline to 31 October for nursery and school supplies grants

The Education Department of Altea Town Council has activated two programmes of economic assistance aimed at families with children in Early Childhood Education, with a total allocation of €12,000, for the 2026-2027 academic year.

One of the funds, allocated €7,000, is intended to cover attendance at private nurseries authorised by the Valencian Community administration in the municipality, for children under three years old who are registered residents of Altea. This grant consists of €50 per month per child, the amount varying according to family income.

The second line, with €5,000, covers the costs of socialised school materials and workbooks for Early Childhood Education pupils enrolled in public schools in the municipality during the coming academic year. In this case, the subsidy ranges between 50% and 100% of the cost, also depending on each family's income.

The Education councillor, Mari Sastre, explained the aim of these grants: "From the Town Council we continue working to support Altean families and help them meet the costs of their children's education. We know that any assistance is important for family finances, especially in the early stages of education".

More time to apply

Originally, the deadline to request these subsidies was 23 October, but the council has decided to extend it to 31 October 2026 so that more families can take advantage of them. Applications can be submitted online through the municipal electronic office or in person by requesting an appointment at the Citizens' Information Office.
