Hi everyone..
I will be moving into Turku area since I will attend Turku UAS.
Since I have young kids I have to apply for daycare but when you visit www.turku.fi, if you are not living in Finland with bank account and a phone it is impossible doing it. Is it just right?
I was hoping to apply asap and send my kids to daycare when we get there....
Am I asking too much about this?

I do feel sorry for you but unfortunately this is probably why you can't. You could try calling them, I know it would be a long distance call but perhaps they would accept your applications over the phone.

Thank you for care.
I understad this situation. And I will try over the phone. Thank you.

Maybe you could try private daycares. You don't need to apply to them through the city. I didn't have to when I put my son into one.
