The client fee is between €0 and €311 per month, which is the same as in municipal early childhood education.
The fee is determined based on the value of the service voucher, which depends on the family size, income, and the child’s early childhood education hours.
The daycare participates in the City of Espoo’s pilot program offering 20 hours of free early childhood education per week for 5-year-old children. For more information, please contact the daycare Manager.
You can apply at any time and get started quickly.

A Joyful, Active Daycare in Laajalahti
In our daycare’s spacious facilities, children have plenty of room to move and play freely. At the same time, the spaces also allow for calm, quiet small-group activities and play.
We want to be a reliable partner for families in the midst of busy everyday life. Our daycare is open on weekdays according to families’ needs and care-time bookings from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and at our client families’ request, even until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays.
The Joy of Movement in Many Forms
The goal of our daycare is to help children discover the joy of movement and an active lifestyle. Our focus on physical activity is reflected in everyday daycare life through excursions, daily outdoor play, weekly music-and-movement sessions, and guided physical activity times. We also introduce children to a wide variety of sports, such as football (soccer), ice hockey, and cycling.
In addition, children have the opportunity to participate in basic arts education provided by the Espoo Dance Institute.

Diversified activities in line with the early childhood education and care plan
Of course, there are also other varied activities such as singing sessions, theatre performances, arts and crafts and painting sessions, not to mention rest periods. The pedagogy of everyday life is present in every moment of the daycare. It is about stopping together and wondering about things; counting peas in the salad and playing with colours while painting. We cherish every unhurried moment we get to spend talking, playing and goofing off; exploring the world together.
Football Partnership with FC Honka
Players from the FC Honka P2013 Academy visit our daycare monthly to share the joy and excitement of physical activity through football with our children!
