The ECEC centre started operating in 1968 and the expected move to the new ECEC centre took place in January 2022. Our spacious, bright and comfortable ECEC centre is located in the historic Price area, within walking distance of the River Oulujoki. Our immediate surroundings allow for forest trips and exploring nature. In addition, the ECEC centre has its own forest yard and garden, and the versatile Hovissuo Sports Park is also located nearby.
High-quality small group pedagogy ensures that the child's basic safety, emotional life and interaction skills are supported. Through small group pedagogy, we strengthen the child's positive perception of themselves as learners; "I can, I learn and I can".

STEAM pedagogy is an important part of our operating culture and we are committed to implementing it in our ECEC centre. STEAM encourages people to wonder, explore and discover phenomena and the uniqueness of everyday life.
Our ECEC centre are designed to encourage learning, play and participation. Different sharing spaces adapt to the needs of play, enabling versatility, longevity, variety and creativity. The staff enriches, enables and offers experiences of various games, playgrounds and diverse play equipment indoors and outdoors.
Together with the home, we guide children towards a sustainable lifestyle. We value the learning environment and practice working with toys and books, for example, with children, and avoid using materials and unnecessary energy.
In our operations, we follow the national early childhood education plan and the City of Oulu's early childhood education plan.
