The promotion of first class care and education for children.

- Back to school (September, October, November)
- Christmas / New Year (December, January, February)

- Summer (June, July, August)

The distribution of 1st for Schools reflects our readership directly.
magazine is distributed to all the major nurseries and international schools on the Costa. The vast majority of the international schools and nurseries give a copy to each child to take home, making us the only “direct to families” publication (without subscription). This direct distribution system has helped our advertisers gain a great response from clients, which in turn has helped us expand and develop.1st for Schools has achieved much since its launch. It has grown 50% in its first 6 issues and issue 7 marked the beginning of the magazine's articles being translated into Spanish.
