Under the Act on Early Childhood Education and Care, private service providers are obligated to provide children with the support they need. Arranging appropriate support for the child is the responsibility of the service provider. The City of Espoo’s coordinators of special-needs early childhood education advise service providers and coordinate matters related to the support for children in private early childhood education.

A handbook for arranging support for children is available on the private early childhood education extranet.(external link, opens in a new window)

Here you can find the contact information of the coordinators of special-needs early childhood education.
