Pre-primary education offers children the chance to explore, play and develop new skills. Social interactions with peers strengthen their social abilities, while activities such as play, movement, exploration, problem-solving and creative expression build self-esteem and encourage a love of learning. The goal is to provide positive group learning experiences that inspire confidence and joy. Pre-primary education is free of charge and is provided in municipal day care centres and schools Mon–Fri from 9.00 to 13.00. In addition, pre-primary education is organised at outsourced early childhood education units and service voucher daycare centers as well as other private daycare centers.
