A total of 207 children have been enrolled in the municipal nurseries and kindergartens of the Municipality of Spata–Artemida for the 2026–2027 school year, according to figures presented at the Municipal Council meeting on 8 September.
At Artemida, 108 places were filled: 86 in the children’s groups and 22 in the nursery groups. At Spata, enrolments totalled 99, of which 73 were in the children’s sections and 26 in the nursery sections. Of the total enrolments, 61 were made through the NSRF: 32 at Artemida and 29 at Spata.
The waiting list is where the real problem lies. There are still 59 children on the waiting list, 58 of whom are infants — 42 at Artemida and 16 at Spata. At Artemida, only one child was not admitted to the nursery section; all the remaining 42 are infants.
The explanation lies in the fact that nursery places are set by law and do not increase in line with demand. “There were a great many applications for the nursery places, but the number of places is fixed — 26 places in Spata and 22 in Artemida,” said Deputy Mayor Christos Seretis.
The Municipality is planning an additional nursery section at the Artemida nursery, for which an architectural study is currently being drawn up. Meanwhile, the agenda for the Municipal Committee meeting on Friday 18 September includes two items relating to the project ‘Adaptation of Spata–Artemida Municipality nurseries to the specifications of the institutional licensing framework under Presidential Decree 99/2017’: the approval of the 2nd Revised Schedule of Works and a request for an extension of the contractual completion deadline.
For information about the stations, please call 22940 84221 for Artemida and 210 6630197 for Spata, between 9.00 am and 1.00 pm.
