Early childhood education
Early childhood education is a statutory activity in which valuing childhood and recognizing each child’s individual skills are important.
In our early childhood education, it is important to us that every child can safely be themselves in the care, education, and teaching provided by professional staff. We support children's growth and development together with families.
Pyhäjoki has invested in children. We offer free early childhood education and generous home care allowances.
Welcome to explore early childhood education in Pyhäjoki – we stand on the side of the little ones!
