Open early education consists of guided activities for children who are cared for at home. The activities support families that do not require full-time daycare for their children but care for the children at home. This is also a good alternative to full-time daycare when one or both parents are at home. Open early education service is free of charge. Families may be eligible for child homecare allowance or private care allowance.

Open daycare centres
Open daycare centres offer guided activities for children and provide parents an opportunity to meet other families with small children in the area. Open daycare centres are for children aged under five who are looked after at home and their parents. Open daycare centre staff plan and organise activities according to the wishes and needs of the participating families. These include music, play, games, and crafts.
Children, their daily needs, and life in general are also discussed in the open daycare centres.
