Estonian here, similar, but two languages wasn't actually an option at least earlier this century. I started my first foreign language in 3rd grade and the other one in 6th. Could've added a 3rd one in high school but didn't feel like it personally.

Daycare isn't entirely free but the fee is very small.

Hospital visits are 2.50 per night for inpatient or 5 euros a visit for outpatient I think. Without insurance most tests are still double digits, but major surgery can go into the thousands. Insurance is tied to having employment - but being in school, raising a child under 3, etc counts too. And so does registering as unemployed. Pretty much the only time you have no health insurance is if you're a NEET and don't register for unemployment.

And you can walk to places. In my hometown, we could just walk or cycle to the next town over. There's a separate light traffic road next to the car road.
