In 2009, public spending on childcare amounted to 0.04% of GDP, of which 20% was allocated to PEIMT. However, this is only 6% of all children between 1 and 4 years old in Mexico, of whom 26% grow up in poverty. Day-care centres are open for a minimum of eight hours per day, five days a week (Monday to Friday). In 2010, the amount was USD 4 200 for creating a new facility and USD 2 600 for adapting a private residence or retail space into a day care centre.
