They are children of military people, probably it influences.

The uniform is not a classic uniform of school, looks like rather a tracksuit, probably in order that the children are comfortable and it is not necessary to worry if they get dirty.

I always think that uniform for school ( or pre school ) is a good thing because like that the mothers don't have any problem with the trade mark....

This one in blue pale is very simpathetic, remember these of Irene in Barcelone : top jellow with pant or short navy blue more hard to wear for babies ( the yellow in particular )

It looks like a sport suit, very confortable indeed!She will be able to play and to know normal children, that will be very good for her, to me it was a good choice to put her in this day care! I though they really didin't pose for photographers, I'am glad they will do a photoshot on friday! But to me friday it is not a good day to start day care but....

Really Friday will not be the first day that the girl goes to the day-care center, it seems that the Princes have foreseen to take her today in order that she knows the place and to the persons. Today it will be her first contact, they will be accustoming her little by little how it is normal.

Primer dÃ*a de colegio para la Infanta Leonor - Gente - www.elperiodicomediterraneo.com

The first day of school for the Infanta Leonor

The Infanta Leonor was this morning for the first time to the Infantile School that the Royal Guard has in the Palace of El Pardo, with her uniform of trousers and sky blue jersey, white T-shirt and blue and white smock, accompanied in one so special day as her parents, the Princes of Asturias, they informed to Efe sources near to the Palace of the Zarzuela.

It is foreseen that next Friday could carry out the first photos of the Infanta, dressed in uniform, with her parents at the arrival to the center. The House of the King has wanted to programme this graphical session to prevent them from could to think images of the companions of the Infanta, of agreement with the Protection law of the Minor.

I saw a video from TVE Corazon de Verano, in which they showed the prince and princess leaving the little infanta in her first day. I think it was a good idea to have her photoshoot later in the week just because it is already scary enough for children to go to school the very first time. Can't wait to see her pictures though!

Yes, the Princes have taken the girl to the school, and later the Princess has been going to gather her.

To my also it looks like to me a good idea, sufficient has the girl in spite of having to face to her first day out of house, to support to the press.

In addition treating about a military enclosure, and there being other children whose rights it is necessary to respect, the House of the King does well in making something a bit controlled.

Today already some journalist of the gutter press has chased two mothers who had left their children in the school; let's hope that this type of situations do not repeat.

What type of school is this? I mean that as in what type of kids are going there? Is the school for only certain people or is it open to the public? I'm thinking that this would have to be a private school.

It is a day-care center of "company", for saying it somehow. It is not public, nor private. I explain.

This day-care center is in the headquarters of the Royal Guard, and therefore financed with public money, in this sense it is public. But it is private because it does not have access anyone, only the children of the soldiers of the Royal Guard or of workers of National wealth.

For a few years, and for the lack of public day-care centers, many organisms of the government have opened day-care centers for the children of the persons who work there, this one is one of the examples.

Thanks, it's exactly how I was thinking it was. So it will be safe for little Leonor to go there and not be bothered in the future by the media.

Those that are saying it's crazy for them to be sending her to school because she's too young. This is exactly like when Christian first went to school and Leonor is older than he was at the time. I think the words school and kindergarten are throwing some of us off. In America kindergarten is for 4-5 year olds. But we have to remember this is a nursery school type of thing it's not actual school persay. So I think this is the right age for her to start. She will be able to get accustom to being around others her own age. She will learn to share and play nice with others. As well as probably getting a head start on simple things. My friend has a 2 year old daughter that is starting nursery school tomorrow. So I guess I don't think it's out of the ordinary. And Leonor most likely won't go for very long only a couple hours a day my friend's daughter is going for like an hour or two. Can't remember which, but it's not for very long! I think its always a little shocking when people think that these royal parents are doing things so early with their kids. I mean does anyone really believe that F and L would do things completely out of the ordinary for their daughter? Their royalty and they live privileged lives but they seem like sensible people that only want what is best for their kids. Just like other parents all over the globe.

I can't wait until Friday either but I was not happy to see that the "press" couldn't wait until Friday, I think it is very nice that they are allowing photo's after all we received this summer. I understand that Leo is a Princess and will be exposed to public life for the rest of her llife but I would of liked to see the Princess be able to pick up her daughter from her first day of school with out all the intrusion. IMO

Is this the same school that Irene will attend or is she in another school? By the way was the Leonor in the back of Letizia's car?
