Background information

The parents may apply for a place in private family day care for their child. Private family day carers are entrepreneurs who organise early childhood education, usually in their own homes. The group may include four children needing full-time care and one needing part-time care who is in pre-primary education or school age. The carer’s own under school-age children are included in this number. Private family day carers are supervised by authorities.
