There are four types of preschool educational programmes in Latvia as defined set out in the Regulations Regarding the State Guidelines for Pre-school Education and the Model Pre-school Education Programmes:

  • a preschool educational programme (Annex 1 of the regulations);
  • an ethnic minority preschool educational programme (Annex 2);
  • a special preschool educational programme (Annex 3);
  • an ethnic minority special preschool educational programme (Annex 4).

Ethnic minority preschool educational programmes usually enrol Russian-speaking children. One ethnic minority preschool educational programme enrols Polish children (information from 2019).
