At Pilke daycare centers, we follow the Finnish Early Childhood Education Act in all our operations. A maximum number of children may be present in a group at one time based on the number of educators, even if more staff members are available. In practice, this means:
- In groups for children under 3 years old: a maximum of 12 children (1 educator per 4 children)
- In groups for children over 3 years old: a maximum of 21 children (1 educator per 7 children)
At Pilke, the child-to-adult ratio is an essential indicator of the quality of our work.
That’s why every Pilke daycare center communicates the daily ratio to families on a notice board. This ratio shows how many children and adults were present in the daycare on that particular day.
