Transportation for early childhood education and care

The Early Childhood Education Act does not oblige a municipality to provide transport for a child to early childhood education. The primary responsibility for transporting a child to early childhood education and care lies with the child's guardians.

Education Committee of the City of Tampere has revised the transport criteria for early childhood education from 1 May, 2025.

Applications for early childhood education transport are made by separate transport application. The application period for transport for the 2025-2026 period is 12-25 May, 2025.

The guardian will discuss with the daycare centre staff whether the child meets the prerequisites for transport. If they do, the daycare centre will provide the guardian with a link to an online form to be filled.

If the need for transport emerges during the administrative year, processing the application and arranging for transport will take a minimum of two weeks.

The transportation is provided by Tuomi Logistiikka company: [email protected]

No transportation to therapeutic services be provided by the early childhood education services. During school vacation time, transportation is provided as needed.
