Abstract
Content and language-integrated learning (CLIL) has experienced an exponential growth with its implementation into international pre-primary education contexts.

In the academic year 2017-2018, the programme extended to the very early years, and it is currently run in all bilingual schools. The main aim of this contribution is to discuss the potential applicability of CLIL for pre-primary education and to analyze the teachers' views in Madrid by means of two focus groups.
