Exemption from the payment of fees for early childhood education and supplementary pre-school education

The customer fee for early childhood education is determined based on family size, service needs, and gross income. Once the fee has been determined and the payment decision has been received, the guardian may apply for a fee waiver.

Reporting income information for the purpose of determining the customer fee

The right to an exemption from payment of the customer fee may arise if the customer fee charged based on income causes the customer (Kela) to require income support, or if the child is entitled to it under the special care program provided by the Disabled Services. The principles of preventive income support and related application guidelines are applied to these decisions.

An exemption from client fees is usually not granted retroactively; it may be granted only starting in the calendar month the application reached the Early Childhood Education and Care Services Client Fees Department.
