We organise preschool education in Karhunpesä blue, yellow and red groups.

The common values of preschool education at Länsituuli daycare centre include functionality, small group activities and children's participation in the planning of activities. In pre-primary education, we utilise the diverse environment of our daycare centre both outdoors and indoors. The preschoolers of our kindergarten gather about once a month for a joint singing session.

In the autumn, we will celebrate the Forest Olympics together and attend the Turvaa tenaville event (Safety-related event) and the swimming school at the Jatuli swimming hall.  In the spring, we will celebrate a joint safety week, for example, by task point. The Ahmat (Ice hockey club) in Haukipudas also organize a skating school for preschoolers on the grounds of Länsituuli school. The preschool also celebrates Grandparents' Day in February. In May, we hold a joint spring party for families.

The preschool groups of Länsituuli daycare centre cooperate with Länsituuli School. Photo orienteering at school, various activity paths in the yard of the daycare centre, completing assignments at school together with schoolchildren, and participating in Christmas and spring festival exercises for schoolchildren have become established forms of activity. In January, Länsituuli School organises a Eskarista Ekalle (From preschool to first grade) evening for parents, where they learn about school-related matters.

We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu. From preschool to first grade.

In groups, children can play with other children and practice friendship skills, as well as participate in activities in accordance with the learning areas of the early childhood education plan, such as singing, exercise and art.

"We carry the child a piece of the way along the path of life.
We receive joy, laughter, snarl and rage,
Many emotions, all so genuine!
We embrace and caress, we are here and now - In time for the child unhurried. We remember in the morning at the beginning of work
I'm there for the kids, I promise, and I remember too!"

(Miia Leinonen 2023, Länsituuli daycare centre)

Child participation, parental involvement, functional learning and doing things together. We make extensive use of outdoor and indoor spaces as well as the communal hut in our green yard as learning environments.

We want to make our everyday life unhurried, with enough time for children's suggestions and interests. Together with the children, we seek new information and utilise it in our activities and everyday life. To support children's participation and communication, we use pictures, digital material, support signs, picture diaries and Kesy material.

Our daycare centre has a parent committee that organises excursions and events a few times a year.

We follow the City of Oulu's early childhood education plan in our operations.
