Simps' daycare centre is located in Niittyaro, Koskela, near the sports area and parks. Our daycare centre has facilities for five groups of children. In addition to group facilities, children have access to a gym and small group facilities.
We exercise and hike in the nature of the surrounding area. Opportunities for children to exercise are also created indoors, both in our large gym and in smaller spaces. The daycare centre has two outdoor areas, small and large yards. The local park and sports field are also at our disposal. The daycare centre's yard and its surroundings with their forests enable daily exercise and excursions to nature and the surrounding area.
On the wings of fairy tales, Wonderful miracles, As memories, For the good of the little ones, To the corner of the heart, To rejoice when big – Simpsi.

Our children and guardians play a significant role in building and developing common practices. We encourage children to be independent, play and interact with each other, and teach them how to take care of themselves and the environment.
We explore and wonder in small groups, seek information and strengthen the child's own thinking. Children have time for wonder, insight, exploration and creativity.
We follow the City of Oulu's early childhood education plan in our operations.
