Mandatory Parent Notification by Childcare Centers

March 17, 2025

The Ministry of Social Welfare has mandated that childcare centers must communicate with parents on the same day if a child is absent without prior notice. The aim of this regulation is to enhance child safety and prevent tragic incidents, such as the recent one in Nicosia. The Cyprus Association of Private Preschool Education has agreed to implement this measure immediately. The regulation will be discussed in the Parliamentary Education Committee.
