To whom and on what terms

Preschool education is organised for 6-year-old children of the municipality. 7-year-olds whose start in school has been delayed can also participate in preschool education. 5-year-olds, who have an extended compulsory education decision made for them, can also take part in preschool education.

Background information

Pre-primary education is free teaching that children receive in a day-care centre or school in the year before compulsory education. Pre-primary education is also organised in private early childhood education and care.

Children in the pre-primary education age, or 6 years, participate in pre-primary education. Those 7-year-olds whose school attendance has been postponed also participate in pre-primary education. It can additionally be attended by 5-year-olds to whom a decision on extended compulsory education has been issued.

The children receive pre-primary education for four hours every morning. During this time, a lunch is served to the children.

If a pupil in pre-primary education needs support, they have the right to the assistance services and aids they need.

Under the Basic Education Act, participation in pre-primary education is mandatory. The child’s guardian is responsible for ensuring that the child participates in pre-primary education or other activities that meet the objectives for pre-primary education the year preceding the start of their compulsory education.
