Early childhood education, basic education and upper secondary education
Viimeksi muokattu: 11.12.2024The Municipality of Mäntsälä provides early childhood education, pre-primary education, basic education and upper secondary education. Day-care centres and schools create and develop a culture of equity and equality. The pupils’ diversity of languages and cultures is taken into consideration in the schools’ own equity and equality programmes in many ways.

Mäntsälä has 8 municipal and 5 private day-care centres that offer early childhood education and pre-primary education. You have to pay for early childhood education, but the fee depends on your family’s income and size, and on the time that your child spends in the day-care centre. Early childhood education is voluntary. Pre-primary education, on the other hand, is free of charge and compulsory.
