Language immersion is defined as a language learning model where the children adapt a new language by using it in natural contexts and meaningful situations. In Sipoo, language immersion is available in Swedish. Language immersion day care centres use the language coherently in all everyday activities. Thus, language immersion is provided for children who speak Finnish as their mother tongue.

Applications for a place in language immersion are to be filed during the year when the child turns four (4). The annual application period is in March. Each year, a presentation event about language immersion is also organized before the application period starts. The event is open for all interested in the activities.

To whom and on what terms
It is required that guardians of children who are granted a place in one of the language immersion day care centres speak Finnish as their mother tongue. However, one of the guardians may have some other language as their mother tongue, if the children speak Finnish as their mother tongue, and the family uses Finnish at home.
