The critical behavior of entanglement near a quantum phase transition has been studied intensely over the past few years. Few-body quantum systems show critical behavior near the ionization point. We investigate the scaling properties of the von Neumann entropy for an atomiclike system near the ionization threshold. Using finite size scaling methods we calculate the critical charge and the critical exponent associated to the von Neumann entropy. The parallelism between the behavior of entanglement near a quantum phase transition and the behavior of the von Neumann entropy in a critical few-body quantum system is analyzed.
