Creches and kindergartens in Porto

Image: Teleporto.

A creche takes children from about 3 months to 3 years. A jardim de infância, the kindergarten, is from 3 to 6. Places with an agreement with Social Security are the ones families ask for first, and they fill. Ask the creche itself whether it has that agreement and what the monthly fee is. This page does not rank them.

The city published a directory of creches and pré-escolar in Porto, with address, phone and email. That file is the list. Four entries from it, so you can see the shape of a contact:

The list, and the city desk

Call the creche for a visit before you pay a reservation. A vacancy on a PDF is not a vacancy today.
