Early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Poland is divided into two stages: for
children aged 0–3 years in crèches, “kids’ clubs”, or settings where care is provided
by child day carers and nannies; and for children aged 3–5/6 years (pre-school
education) in nursery schools, pre-school classes in primary schools and other
pre-school settings, including pre-school units and centres.
