OBS

Las guarderías no son propiamente instituciones educativas, sino sólo de albergue, y pueden estar localizadas en un inmueble, en una fábrica o empresa, etc. [...] Con el tiempo, no obstante, las guarderías han comenzado a recibir la atención de los Estados, exigiéndose en muchas ocasiones un personal especializado para cuidar de los niños, de manera que se han convertido en instituciones parecidas a las escuelas maternales [...] Pueden ser estatales, municipales y particulares.
