The Amazonas region of Brazil has reported a total of 178,941 enrollments in early childhood education for the year 2025, based on the data released by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep) on Thursday. The census aggregates information from public and private daycare centers and preschools. A significant majority, 158,781, are enrolled in the public education sector, with almost all of these enrollments occurring in municipal schools, while the state schools account for only 15 enrollments. The private sector follows with 20,160 students enrolled across various types of institutions.

The detailed statistical breakdown provided by the school census covers four key areas: student enrollments, teaching staff, schools, and classes. It presents a comprehensive view of the structure in early childhood education along with other aspects such as special and indigenous education. Among the enrollments, daycare facilities in Amazonas specifically account for 52,052 registrations, with 44,686 in the public sector and 7,366 in private institutions. This represents a crucial segment of early childhood education, catering to a fundamental developmental stage for children.

Additionally, gender distribution data indicates that there are 25,861 girls and 26,191 boys enrolled in these programs, highlighting an almost even split between genders. Such statistics are essential for planning and resource allocation in education, reflecting the growing need for accessibility in early educational settings, especially in diverse and geographically dispersed regions like Amazonas. These insights could influence educational policy and investment decisions aimed at improving the quality and reach of education in the area.
