DESCRIPTION
Despite some similarities, the Finish and Spanish ECEC are substantially differently conceived, organized, financed and linked to other substantial pillars of the Welfare Systems: Whereas Finish families count with the support from their institutions to organize child care according to their needs and priorities, many Spanish families have to rely in other sources such as self financing and/or extended family until children are age 3.

Conclusions
Despite some similarities, the Finish and Spanish ECEC are substantially differently conceived, organized, financed and linked to other substantial pillars of the Welfare Systems:
Whereas Finish families count with the support from their institutions to organize child care according to their needs and priorities, many Spanish families have to rely in other sources such as self financing and/or extended family until children are age 3.
