The English Kindergarten of Kuopio is a private kindergarten for 3-7 year old children. It was founded in 1969 and is one of the largest English immersion kindergartens in Finland. The kindergarten is a non-profit making organisation run by a committee of eight members elected annually from the parents.
The kindergarten is on two sites: the early years´ groups in the town centre and the pre-school in Puijonlaakso. The English Kindergarten is involved with Kuopio city´s internationalisation programme. Since 1992, children from the kindergarten have been able to go to the class specialising in English from year one at Rajala primary school and have had the opportunity to continue with specialist English teaching all the way through their school career.
The kindergarten fees are eligible for private day care allowance from KELA and the municipal allowance (kuntalisä).
