Service voucher Early Childhood Education and Care Centres
Service voucher daycare centers are private daycare centers that have been approved by the City of Tampere as service providers. There are service voucher daycare centers in Tampere and its surrounding municipalities.
You can apply for an early childhood education place at a service voucher daycare center in eVaka using the same application form as for a municipal early childhood education place. The same form also serves as a service voucher application.
When a child is granted a place in early childhood education at a service voucher daycare center, the family will receive a decision on the service voucher. To determine the calculated co-payment, the family must submit a statement of income, as in municipal early childhood education.
A private service voucher daycare center may charge a customer fee that is higher than the calculated co-payment. More detailed information on the terms and conditions of the service voucher daycare center's customer fee and factors affecting the fee can be obtained from the daycare center and the service agreement to be made with the daycare center.
