We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.
Our ECEC centre
This is a machine translation.
Our ECEC centre is located in Heinäpää, where a diverse yard environment supports the child's natural movement and inspires them to try and develop their own skills. In addition to the playground opportunities in the yard, we take advantage of the opportunities offered by the Heinäpää Sports Park; ski trails, ice skating rinks, toboggan run, traffic park and ball game hall. Within walking distance are cultural services; theater, library and Valve (House of Culture). We make nature and exploration trips to the small forest in the surrounding area, and on walks in Heinäpää you can see both old and newer built environments.
Mission statement
This is a machine translation.
Green Flag activities are an integral part of the ECEC centre's operations and are visible in the ECEC centre's everyday life through various events, songs, rhymes, games, readings, exercise and activities that support children's development. Excursions to the forest and other nearby surroundings are used to observe the surroundings and enjoy new experiences, culture and the peace of nature. With children, we learn to respect and appreciate nature, and to act within everyone's rights.
Moving, playing and artistic experiences are typical ways for children to perceive the world, structure their experiences and learn new things. Experiences elevate children above everyday life even for a moment, but the most important thing is everyday joy, humour and a sense of togetherness even at ECEC centre.
Through play, children form and strengthen friendships, explore, learn and try new things. It is important to us that every child has a playmate. In both outdoor and indoor play, age limits are dispelled and children from different groups also get to know each other.
We follow the City of Oulu's early childhood education plan in our operations.
