Early childhood education and care

The Municipality of Pyhäjoki provides children with quality, welcoming early childhood education and care.

Early childhood education and care is a statutory duty in which it is important to value childhood and recognise the individual skills of each child.

In early childhood education and care, we think it is important for children to be safe and secure in the care, education and teaching of our professional staff. We work with families to support child growth and development.

Pyhäjoki prioritises children through free early childhood education and care, as well as good home care allowance supplements.
