We organise preschool education in Karhunpesä blue, yellow and red groups.

The common values of preschool education at Länsituuli daycare centre include functionality, small group activities and children's participation in the planning of activities. 

We make daily use of our daycare centre's versatile sharing facilities and hall in our small group activities and dine in our own canteen. To support outdoor learning, we have a large yard area and hut. Behind the fence begins the forest and excellent sports opportunities all year round together with the school. Preschool groups work closely together and meet about once a month to do things together, for example. singing, playing, playing yard games or performing performances for each other. 

The preschool groups of Länsituuli daycare centre cooperate with Länsituuli School's initial education in accordance with a jointly drawn up action plan and by developing pedagogy for 5–8 years. The activities are carried out in the premises of both the daycare centre and the school and in the surrounding area, working together and developing joint projects. 

During the school year, pupil welfare staff attend preschool groups. The services of a school psychologist and school social worker are available to families at a low threshold.  We organise a few mornings for guardians already in the autumn term, when it is possible to meet them at the daycare centre for breakfast. Länsituuli school and daycare centre will jointly organise a parents' evening for parents from Eskari to Eka in the autumn, where together we will tell about matters related to preschool education and school.

We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.

"We carry the child a piece of the way along the path of life.
We receive joy, laughter, snarl and rage,
Many emotions, all so genuine!
We embrace and caress, we are here and now - In time for the child unhurried. We remember in the morning at the beginning of work
I'm there for the kids, I promise, and I remember too!"

(Miia Leinonen 2023, Länsituuli ECEC centre)

Child participation, parental involvement, functional learning and doing things together. We make extensive use of outdoor and indoor spaces as well as the communal hut in our green yard as learning environments.

We want to make our everyday life unhurried, with enough time for children's suggestions and interests. Together with the children, we seek new information and utilise it in our activities and everyday life. To support children's participation and communication, we use pictures, digital material, support signs, picture diaries and Kesy material.

Our ECEC centre has a parent committee that organises excursions and events a few times a year.

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