Criticism regarding the lack of adapted Christmas activities for children aged 0 to 3 in Sant Cugat del Vallès.

An analysis of the Christmas festive program in Sant Cugat del Vallès reveals a systematic lack of inclusive and adapted proposals for infants aged 0 to 3 years.

The criticism focuses on the fact that children in this age group, considered a fundamental educational stage, remain the great forgotten demographic in the activity program, which should be truly inclusive and designed for all ages.
Families with young children demand the right to play, experimentation, and enjoyment in spaces adapted to their capabilities, such as light and texture games, music, storytelling, or psychomotor circuits.
Although some activities are labeled as “family,” most proposals relegate children aged 0 to 3 years to a passive role, acting merely as spectators, without real involvement. Generic activities like board games or decoration workshops for up to 12 years are deemed unsuitable.
Positive, yet insufficient, examples highlighted include the 0-3 family show in Mira-sol, the Trenet de Nadal (Christmas Train), the tions in the neighborhoods, the Hora del Conte Menuts (1-3) (Story Time for Toddlers), or the Patgessa Reial (Royal Page). The suggestion is to create a dedicated municipal tent or space for early childhood during the Christmas festivities in Sant Cugat del Vallès.
