The conciliation centers of the work and family life of the City Council offer fun and learning also in summer to about one thousand children, from 0 to 16 years old, enrolled in them.

They are playful and socio-educational activities in which children whose parents have to work, which prevents them from attending them during the months when there is no school, participate.

The schools are aimed at children from 3 to 12/16 years old, depending on each center;

During this time, children participate in very diverse activities, from support classes and school reinforcement to workshops of various crafts, sports, water games, swimming pool and trips to the beach or mountain, cultural or leisure.

In these facilities this summer is attended to about a thousand children from 0 to 16 years who attend their holiday schools and enjoy their.

Of them, 350 attend the integral center of Juan Carlos I, 175 to the center of Bacons Bridge and 60 to Cabezo de Torres.
