It could be a privately-owned preschool or one owned by the municipality. No parents donate anything to any schools or nurseries here. Even the privately-owned ones are funded from the municipal budgets. The fees are heavily subsidised. The costs per child per month are in the neighborhood of €1000 but what the parents pay varies between about €280 and 0 depending on their income.

There is political will to provide this for each child because having a larger proportion of mothers in the work force is economically advantageous. The unemployed also have the right to early education provided for their children. The children also have breakfast, lunch and an a snack in the afternoon.
