Introduction to Finnish Early Childhood Education
Early childhood education is an integral part of the success story of Finnish education. Early childhood education and care, pre-primary education and primary education form a continuum that supports the child’s development and learning. Early childhood education builds a foundation for the life-long learning path in Finland. Finland has high-quality early childhood education and care (ECEC). Early childhood education is provided for children aged 0–5 years. The Finnish ECEC is based on the educare model: an integration of care, education and teaching. The objectives, principles and contents of ECEC are guided by the National Curriculum Guidelines on ECEC, which aims to promote the provision of ECEC on equal terms throughout the country.
