    Student welfare in pre-school education

    Student welfare in pre-primary education refers to the promotion and maintenance of children’s lea ing, mental and physical health, and social well-being, as well as activities within the pre-primary education community that enhance the conditions for these. Student welfare is primarily implemented as preventive and community-based student welfare that supports the entire pre-school community. In addition, children attending pre-school are entitled to individual student welfare support.

    Student welfare in pre-primary education is organised through cross-sectoral cooperation between the education department and the social and health services department, ensuring that it forms a functional and coherent whole. In pre-primary education, student welfare is implemented in cooperation with the child and their guardian. Student welfare in pre-primary education includes student welfare in accordance with the pre-primary education plan approved by the City of Keuruu’s Education Committee, as well as student welfare services, which comprise psychological and school welfare services and child health clinic services.

    Transport to pre-school

    Transport to pre-primary education is provided in accordance with the criteria set out in Section 32 of the Basic Education Act, i.e. if the jou ey is longer than five kilometres or if, taking into account the pupil’s age or other circumstances, it would be too difficult, tiring or dangerous for the pupil. For jou eys of less than five kilometres, a separate application for school transport assistance must be submitted.

    Transport for pre-school education is organised in conjunction with school transport. In early childhood education, transport is not provided from home to the early childhood education centre, but only to pre-school.
