After-school club activities

Once you have logged in to the eDaisy service, select the ‘After-school activities for schoolchildren’ tab on the home page. This will open the application form for after-school activities.   

On the application form, select an area (e.g. Jokela) and, from the list of schools that appears below, select the school where your child is due to start school or is already attending.  

In cases of joint custody (where the parents do not live at the same address), the application form may only be completed by the person designated as the payer of the bill. 

The school placements for prospective Year 1 pupils will be finalised in the headteachers’ admission decisions during week 13. 

If, for any reason, you are unable to apply for a place in the after-school club via eDaisy, please submit the attached application form to the after-school activities coordinator.

Morning and afternoon activities provided to pupils in special classes in the municipality of Tuusula as part of special care or short-term care are organised by the welfare services and delivered by the municipalities. These activities are organised in accordance with a separate agreement with Keusote. If a child does not have a decision from KEUSOTE regarding the service, families pay the same client fee for the activities as families whose children participate in afternoon activities within mainstream education.

After-school care in special needs classes enables parents to participate in the workforce and provides a wide range of activities that promote social interaction for pupils with intellectual disabilities. The programme is based on cooperation with parents and on care and guidance that maintains the client’s functional capacity. 

Organisation of activities

The activities are organised into five different groups. After-school activities are offered to pupils in special needs classes during school term time, from Monday to Friday between 12:00 and 16:30. In addition, full-day holiday care is provided during the summer and in August. 

Applying for after-school activities

Applications for afternoon activities in special needs classes should primarily be made via eDaisy, following the same instructions as for other afternoon activity groups. During the school year, you should apply for an afternoon activity place as soon as possible once the need arises. The preliminary information form must be completed and returned to the special needs classes’ afternoon activities department immediately after submitting your application.  

Waiving or halving the customer fee

Applications to waive or halve a customer fee should primarily be submitted via eDaisy in accordance with the instructions below. 

Filling in the application via eDaisy (you will be redirected to another service)(opens in a new window, switch to another service):

• Log in using strong authentication.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page, where “Hakemukset” (Application) tab is currently selected.
• Select “Tuloselvitys“ (income Statement) form from the drop-down menu.
• Click “Täytä lomake” (Fill in form) button. 
• Select the child to whom the report relates → “Hyväksy” (Confirm).

  • If the reason for waiving the customer fee is a service provided by KEUSOTE, the relevant decision must be attached.
• Please note that if you are completing an income statement and there are several children in the family, a separate statement must be completed for each child.      

Applying for holiday childcare

Applications for holiday care must be made using a separate form. You can either print out the form and bring it to Rykmentinpuisto School (please write ‘Rosa Apell / special needs classes’ afternoon activities’ on the envelope) or email it to rosa.apell@tuusula.fi.

By submitting the application, the family commits to a place at the after-school club. A parent or guardian may cancel the place free of charge within 14 days of receiving the decision. Cancellation must be made in writing to the after-school activities coordinator. Once the cancellation period has expired, the standard notice procedure applies.

During the autumn, in the event of resignation, full exemption from fees after the notice period may only be granted on the following grounds:

• moving away from the area,
• a change in family circumstances (e.g. unemployment, job rotation leave, maternity leave) or
• where this is in the child’s best interests. If the withdrawal is made on the grounds of the child’s best interests, the group leaders, the teacher and, if necessary, other relevant parties will also be consulted. In other cases, the family will be charged half of the activity fee until the end of the autumn term, following the notice period.

During the spring term, withdrawal from activities must take place within the specified withdrawal period.

Dismissal procedure

The notice period is always one full calendar month. Notice of withdrawal from the after-school programme must be given in writing at least one month before the end of the final month of attendance. Notification must be made via Daisy or, if this is not possible, by contacting the coordinator. You must also always contact the club’s supervisor when leaving.
