Preschool education is provided in Virtanen's children's group. Pedagogy for 5–8-year-olds is planned and implemented together with the school, working regularly. In Virtanen's children's group, taking care of oneself and one's friend is practiced with the support of an adult. Children can actively influence their everyday lives and make choices in everyday situations. Virtanen plays a lot and gets excited about things that interest children.

We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.

Our ECEC centre is located in Mäntykangas, within walking distance of Lake Lämsänjärvi. The location close to nature with its sports fields, forest areas and river landscapes enables the implementation of versatile early childhood education all year round – through exercise, hiking, exploration and experimentation. The village-like surroundings with familiar people are a safe environment for children to grow and learn.

Learning together and encouraging each other

Our activities emphasise working together, emotional skills, playing and friendship skills. Our motto is that a good environment for growth and learning requires a good emotional climate that encourages and motivates children to learn and helps them grow and develop as individuals in a group. We support children's participation and children's self-expression, as well as emotional and interaction skills.

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