Home care support
If the child is not in early childhood education, the family can apply for home care support from Kela. Notification to Kela of both the start and end of early childhood education belongs to the guardians. The director of early childhood education monitors Kela's child care support recipient and payment lists (Act on support for children's home care and private care § 24 subsection 1)
In the municipality of Muonio, it is also possible to receive a additional municipal supplement with home care support.
Subjective right to early childhood education
The subjective right to early childhood education was restored as of August 1, 2020. All children have the right to participate in early childhood education according to the child's needs. The right to early childhood education does not depend on whether the child's parent or other guardian is employed full-time or part-time, whether they are unemployed or whether they participate in training or internships organized as labor policy measures, or whether the parents are entrepreneurs or are studying. The extent of early childhood education is also not affected by whether the child's parent is on family leave or care leave to care for another child in the family.
