Ahvenoja ECEC centre is located in the quiet Kuivasjärvi area. It is a small house with wonderful yards and surroundings. The activities are guided by the early childhood education plan and the focus is on pedagogy of small children in small groups and positive pedagogy. 

Walking on small feet, small distances at a time - everyday life in Ahvenoja.

Our mission is to bring joy and experiences to children in a safe daycare environment. Our most important values are safety, close interaction between adults and children, and taking children's individuality into account in our operations.

Our activities focus especially on nature education, play and exercise.

Nature education

Our ECEC centre is located in the middle of nature, so the opportunities offered by nature are easily within our reach. Within walking distance you will find a forest, a chewing track, a sandy beach, a horse stable and a playground. The excursions allow us to get to know the nature around us and find many kinds of experiences and things to explore.

Nature offers us plenty to experience and marvel at, from which we can draw different contents for our activities. We pay special attention to waste sorting, water consumption and indoor and outdoor comfort.

Play

Play is our most important activity. Through play, children form and strengthen friendships, explore, learn and try new things. Play is a natural way for children to go through their feelings and experiences and live their dreams.

It is important to us that every child has a playmate. In both outdoor and indoor play, age limits are dispelled and children from different groups also get to know each other.

Exercise

We emphasize regularity, versatility and playfulness during exercise sessions. We also organise sports sessions according to children's wishes.

Outdoors, our large yard offers a good opportunity for both free and guided movement. The location of the daycare centre also makes it possible to move on the chewing track and in the terrain. Thanks to the illuminated ski track, we run a ski school for children over 5 years of age in winter. The Sports Department will make a ski trail in the backyard of the ECEC centre, so even the youngest children get to practice their skiing skills.

In our operations, we follow the national early childhood education plan and the City of Oulu's early childhood education plan.
