Child home care allowance and municipal supplement

Families can choose child home care as an alternative to municipal daycare. Home care allowance is paid to a parent who stays at home to care for their child after the parental allowance period or when the child is under three years old. The municipality of Enontekiö pays a municipal supplement to the home care allowance.

The municipal supplement is applied for from KELA (the Social Insurance Institution of Finland) when applying for the child home care allowance.
