Apilankukat is a Finnish-language preschool group for children aged 5–6 years. We cooperate with Myllytulli school on a regular basis.
Lilies is an entirely English-language preschool group for children aged 5–6 years. Lilies Group cooperates with Oulu International School.
We implement pre-primary education on the basis of the pre-school curriculum, based on a child-centred approach and different areas, and taking into account children's learning and support needs. During the year, we practice skills in mother tongue, mathematics, environmental and natural knowledge, manual skills and interaction skills through play. In preschool education, children process what they have learned through independent play, so enough time should be left for it.
We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.
