PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION All 6-year-old children and those 5-year-old children who are included in extended compulsory education have the right to a free pre-school education. Participating in pre-school education is optional. Pre-school education is given in the following three schools: Halssila, Keljonkangas and Keltinmäki primary school. The day-care centres and schools have a common curriculum. Pre-school education follows the schedule for the school's academic year. Next year teaching begins on the 11th of August 2008, and ends on the 30th of May 2008. Teaching is given on school days for approximately four hours a day.
APPLYING FOR PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION The application forms are available from day-care centres and social offices. If the child is also in need of day-care, applying for this is done using the same form. Enclosing a salary report with the application is not necessary if applying only for pre-school education. Application forms for both day-care places and pre-school education are returned to the local day-care centres. |
