In Äänekoski, municipal early childhood education is organized in kindergartens and family day care. We offer families high-quality early childhood education that supports the child's growth, development and learning and promotes well-being. We consider the formation of children's friendships to be important. We work in close cooperation with guardians. Äänekoski is the Early Childhood Education District of the Year!
As a rule, pre-school education is organized for children in the year before compulsory schooling. Pre-school education functions as part of the continuum of early childhood education and basic education, strengthening the conditions for children's learning, development and well-being.
There are ten daycare centers in Äänekoski that offer early childhood education for children of different ages. Pre-school education is organized in preschool groups connected to kindergartens and schools. We have modern and cozy daycare centers in every settlement. At Äänekoski, we grow with you!
You can apply for an early childhood education place all year round, but no later than four months before the need for early childhood education begins. In the event of a sudden need, the application must be made at least two weeks before the start of early childhood education.
Here you can find information about the early childhood education fees of the city of Äänekoski. Early childhood education fees are based on the family's income and the number of monthly hours of early childhood education.
