Municipal English Language Daycare

Early childhood education is offered in English for children under school age who come from English speaking or bilingual families.

In daycare, your child will have breakfast, lunch, and a snack. In daycare, we play in- and outdoors, take part in organized activities, and share mealtimes.

For groups with children under 3 years old, there is one educator for every four children. For groups with children over 3 years old, there is one educator for every 7 children.

The selection of children for the international daycare centre will focus on children, whose guardian(s) speak(s) English. It will also prioritise children, who would benefit from English language skills in the future, for example if the family is planning to move to an English-speaking country.

Apply for your child’s daycare place using early childhood education’s online service eVaka. Submit your application at least four months before your child starts attending.

You can get more information about early childhood education places, fees of early childhood education, and applying for daycare places from our phone customer guidance or chat.
