Fees
It is possible to choose the child’s attendance either by session based (weekly schedule), half time or full time based schedule. This means that you can book your child’s attendance between 2 to 10 sessions per week. Fees are based on these bookings, so that the cost of each booked session is 25 €. To change a child’s attendance one must give the school a minimum of one calendar month notice and it should be done on a given adjustment form.
A non-refundable registration fee of 150 € is payable on enrolment. A parent whose child attends 2 to 4 sessions a week will be charged 25 € per session; a half time fee of 415 € per month is charged to parents of children who attend 5 times a week. Anything over 5 sessions a week will add another 25 € euros for each session. A full time fee, for all day every day is 770 €.
Payment is made directly to our bank account, according to the invoice provided at the beginning of each calendar month and should be paid directly into the school bank account. The due date is normally 13th of each month. In case the expected payment is not received in time the school has a right to claim a penalty of 6 euros for each remainder as well as the valid interest.
Practice in “yksityisen hoidon tuki”
In some cases parents may receive support called “yksityisen hoidon tuki” or “kuntalisä”. This is a financial support that the Finnish Kansaneläke Toimisto pays the daycare service provider as part of a child’s monthly fee. This can only be received for those parents who apply for it. Applications must be made to the Kansaneläke toimisto (KELA) office.
In practice the school does not receive this “support” until the end of each month. As this is case the school’s fee is delayed by two weeks. The school has a practice of withholding what we call “Kela Guarantee” from those parents who receive this support. This “Kela Guarantee” is the same amount of money as the parents receive as a “yksityisen hoidon tuki”. It will be returned to the parents when the child leaves the school or should the support for the family stop permanently. Further information about this can be obtained from the school staff.
