The goal of the day care services in Helsinki is to ensure that all children have the opportunity for a good childhood and meaningful development.
The early education services, in turn, aim at supporting balanced growth, development and learning as well as promoting the personal well-being of all children.
Day care centres are usually open between 6:15 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Day care centres that are open in the evening or around the clock every day are available to those children who require additional care due to their parents' work or studies.
