Groups
Preschool education
This is a machine translation.
We organise preschool education in groups of Ratsut and Liinakot.
Cooperation between the daycare centre and school is natural, and there are many different ways and opportunities for cooperation. Annual events shared by the whole house, such as Christmas carols and yard events, are already part of the community centre's tradition.
Cooperation between preschool education and grades 1–2 is systematic and regular. The development of cooperation has been adopted as a goal for the next few years, and the intention is to intensify it further.
We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.
Our daycare centre
This is a machine translation.
In addition to our daycare centre, the Heikkilänkangas community centre houses grades 1–2 of the Heikkilänkangas unit of the Madekoski school and an after-school club for schoolchildren.
Heikkilänkangas daycare centre started its operations in autumn 2003. Our daycare centre is located in a quiet area close to nature by the River Oulujoki. There is a lot of forest, park areas and fields in the area, which we regularly use as a learning environment with children.
Our daycare centre has a good setting for versatile exercise: we have a large hall with versatile equipment, as well as sand and artificial grass fields for outdoor exercise. There is a barbecue hut in the yard of our daycare centre, which is a nice extra space for organising various activities with children and families.
Mission statement
This is a machine translation
Our daycare centre's operations are guided by positive pedagogy. Finding one's own strengths and experiences of success are an important foundation for the development of a child's self-esteem. We see all everyday situations and their functions as valuable educational and teaching situations. Open interaction and cooperation with families are important to us.
In our operations, we follow the national early childhood education plan and the City of Oulu's early childhood education plan.
