Benidorm extends the ‘September School’ for another year to support families

Benidorm City Council is once again collaborating with FAMPA Marina Baixa to organise the ‘September School’, an initiative aimed at helping families balance work and family life during the final days of the school holidays, before the start of the new academic year.

The initiative, managed by Animaciones Trokoló, will take place this year from September 1 to 8 at CEIP Els Tolls, offering families an option for childcare for children aged 3 to 12 during the days leading up to the return to school. Registration is already open and will close on August 24.

The ‘September School’ will operate on a regular schedule from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. In addition, families who need to drop their children off before the activity begins will be able to use the ‘early drop-off’ service from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m.

A school lunch service will also be available from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., allowing children to eat at the school using food brought from home. For both services, the registration fee is €80 for AMPA member families and €95 for non-members.

Registration is already open, and interested families can sign up until August 24 through the Animaciones Trokoló website, where they can also find all the information about the activity: https://trokolo.com/septiembrebenidorm/ 

Education Councillor Maite Moreno highlighted that “with this initiative, Benidorm City Council, together with FAMPA Marina Baixa, continues its commitment to providing resources that help families achieve a better work-life balance and allow them to combine their work commitments with caring for their children during non-school periods
