The new law changes childcare. Starting from September, children from one and a half to three years old must attend childcare centers. Childcare centers monitor children's development.

Children now have a separate curriculum. By the age of three, children have skills. For example, a child can play in a group and follow rules.

Childcare workers help children. They monitor what skills the child has and what kind of help they need. This is an ongoing process throughout the school year.

Previously, there was no such obligation. But many childcare centers are already doing this. The children's curricula will be ready by next summer.
