Notification of need for child day care

KITA-ONLINE and TPF-ONLINE are online platforms that parents can use to register their child's childcare needs with the Youth Welfare Office for a daycare facility (KITA-ONLINE) or a childminder (TPF-ONLINE). This registration is necessary in order to enrol the child in a facility or with a childminder for the following year.

However, registration via KITA-ONLINE and TPF-ONLINE does not guarantee a childcare place. Registration takes place online. Personal data is entered and up to three preferred facilities are selected.

Confirmation will be sent by email. Registration must be completed by December 18 for the following kindergarten year, which begins on August 1, or no later than six months before the desired childcare services are to begin.

It is also necessary to register in person at the selected facilities or with the childminder. For people without internet access or who require assistance, registration can be made directly at the daycare facilities.
