Kavala's City Council approved a proposal to suspend new enrollments of infants and toddlers at the municipality's nursery centres during May 2026, after capacity at several facilities reached its limit. The item was one of several childcare-related matters on the council's agenda, alongside the region's separate push to expand free preschool access for the 2026-2027 cycle. Parents on waiting lists were advised that admissions would resume once places became available.
