Morocco has enacted a new decree to overhaul the administrative framework for private nurseries. Published in the Official Bulletin under number 7220-24 on February 20, 2025, the decree introduces a standardized national statute aimed at modernizing operations and enhancing oversight.
The key change involves digitizing the licensing and management processes. The decree mandates the creation of a unified digital platform, replacing the previous system reliant on physical paperwork submitted to local authorities. This move is designed to significantly reduce administrative delays and increase transparency.
Furthermore, the new regulations establish clearer and more detailed operational standards for private nurseries. These cover essential areas such as infrastructure requirements, staff qualifications, hygiene protocols, and educational programs, aiming to ensure a safer and more consistent environment for children across the country.
The implementation of this decree represents a significant step by the Moroccan government to formalize and improve the early childhood care sector. It responds to growing demand and seeks to align private nursery operations with national standards for child welfare and development.
