Private early childhood education

There are three private daycare centers in Riihimäki. There are also private family daycare workers working in their own homes in different parts of the city. You can inquire about care places for private day care directly from the service provider or centrally from the early childhood education service supervisor.

When you choose a private service for your child, you can apply for private care support paid by Kela and municipal supplement for private care paid by the city of Riihimäki. You can find more information about the conditions and application for private care support on Kela's website.

The municipal supplement for private care is paid when early childhood education is provided by a private service provider (nurse at home, private family day care provider or private daycare) and Kela has made a positive decision to support private care. In addition, it is required that the service is used more than 25 hours a week.

Through Kela, the care provider is paid the following municipal allowances for private care:
- €250 per month when the child is in private group family daycare, family daycare or the child has a caregiver at home
- €665 per month when a child under the age of 3 is in a private kindergarten
- €380 per month when a child over 3 years old is in a private kindergarten
- €429,81 per month when a child of preschool age is in a private kindergarten
- €100 per month, when the child has a hired caregiver at home in addition to municipal pre-school education.
