Open early childhood education and clubs
Open day-care centres and clubs are part of the municipality’s early childhood education and care activities. They are intended for children at day-care age who are cared for at home. Participation is free of charge and does not affect the child home care allowance paid by Kela.
Please keep an eye out for topical issues relating to open day-care centres and clubs on the social media channels of early childhood education and care: Facebook, Instagram

At an open day-care centre, children under school age and their guardians can play, sing, do arts or just spend time with other families. You can participate in the activities when it suits you without prior registration.

Club activities are intended for children aged 2 to 5 years.In the clubs, the children play, do art, explore and enjoy physical activity together. The operating environment is built around topical themes based on the children’s level of development and interests, using parks and municipal and cultural services in the local area. Eating a picnic lunch the children bring with them from home is an important part of the club day.
