Summary/Abstract: Early childhood education and care in Finland has changed over the past few years, and has been receiving more political attention in Finnish government programs. We can have only seven children with one adult and a two-year pre-primary education trial, and we have a deficiency of educated teachers. In Finland, pre-primary school teachers are educated at university. Studies last three years and focus on pedagogy. At some universities, the master of education degree can be studied immediately after the bachelor’s degree.
