Our daycare center accepts service vouchers issued by the City of Espoo. Read more here!
The customer fee is €0–311 per month, which is the same as for municipal early childhood education.
The customer fee is determined based on the value of the service voucher, which is affected by the size of the family, income, and the child’s early childhood education hours.
The daycare center is participating in the City of Espoo’s trial of 20 hours of free early childhood education per week for 5-year-olds. Ask the daycare center director for more information.

Small and Cozy Bilingual Daycare in Matinkylä
Playschool Kattimatti is a bilingual (Finnish–English), international daycare centre located in Matinkylä. We provide high-quality, child-centred early childhood education and preschool for children aged 0–6.
A Foundation for Lifelong Language Learning
In our English-speaking groups, we implement extensive bilingual early childhood education in accordance with the new national core curriculum for early childhood education.
The goal of bilingual early childhood education is to make use of children’s natural sensitivity to language learning by offering them richer and more diverse language experiences. Children are given opportunities to absorb languages and use them in a functional and playful way, laying the foundation for lifelong language learning.
Our aim is for activities in a multilingual environment to spark children’s linguistic curiosity and desire to explore. This approach also encourages natural encounters with different cultures in everyday early childhood education.
