19.2 Preschool class (age 6)

Preschool class begins for children at the age of 6. Children of members of foreign missions have a statutory right to education in preschool class at the same grant-aided price as Swedish nationals.  

In most cases, parents must apply for a place at a school in the municipality in which the family reside, and the child is offered an available place based on the school's queue and admission rules.

Under the Language Act (2009:60), all preschools must be able to support children in the Swedish language and will therefore have some Swedish-speaking staff even in schools where Swedish is not the main language.
