Early childhood education

Applying for day care
An application for day care can be submitted at any time during the year. An application should be submitted four (4) months prior to the expected starting date. If the need for day care cannot be anticipated due to employment or studies, the municipality is required to arrange childcare within two (2) weeks of submission of the application.

Every child is entitled to day care until the beginning of compulsory education.
