Groups
Preschool education
Our ECEC centre has two preschool groups, Reinot and Reetat.
We cooperate with Kaakkuri School, from which preschool groups have appointed cooperation classes. The operating culture of 5–8-year-olds is developed through joint pedagogical planning. We carry out activities through joint projects.
We follow both the national and Oulu’s own Curriculum for Pre-primary Education in our daily work.
Our ECEC centre
Kuukkeli ECEC centre is located in the pleasant residential area of Kiviharju in Kaakkuri. Our ECEC centre has five child groups.
We provide early childhood education with extended opening hours, and our centre is open Monday to Friday from 5:30 AM to 10:45 PM, based on the needs arising from guardians' work schedules. On Saturdays and Sundays, early childhood education is provided at Heinätori ECEC centre based on bookings made by guardians.
Mission statement
Our operations are based on full-time pedagogy, where all situations of the day are relevant for growth and learning. In children's groups with extended opening hours, we take into account children's attendance at different times. In the evenings and at weekends, we offer the same pedagogical content as during the day for children in early childhood education. We meet each child as an individual using positive pedagogy. Cooperation with guardians is close.
Kuukkeli offers a good setting for versatile exercise both outdoors and indoors as well as in the surrounding area. The yard of our ECEC centre includes a large forest area, which we utilise daily, for example, in Metsämörri activities, and in spring and winter we get a ski track for our pleasure. The ECEC centre has its own gym, and we also favour small-space exercise. Our ECEC centre has a large playground with climbing frames, swings and a football field. Outdoor activities and exercise according to the weather are part of our everyday life.
"I take care of the environment and animals. I sort and recycle waste. We take care of each other and toys and things. I involve everyone in the games. ”
We follow both the national and Oulu’s own Curriculum for early childhood education and care in our daily work.
