Children’s Day Care

Right to Day Care

All children under school age are entitled to municipal day care after the mother’s, the father’s or another custodian’s parents’ allowance period has ended.

Day care is arranged in such a way that it provides an appropriate place for the care and education of the child and continuous care at the time of the day it is needed. According to the choice made by the family, it is either all-day or part-time care.

Special day care is arranged if required to support the care and upbringing of a child.

Operational Units

In Seinäjoki, municipal day care is provided by day care centres, group day care centres and in private day care. The professional and qualified staff acts in educational cooperation with the children in day care and their parents. There is also round-the-clock day care and evening care available.
