We organize preschool education in groups called Kaarnat, Tuohet, Vaahterat and Tammet. Vaahterat and Tammet groups operates in the premises of the Rajakylä school.

Each preschool group has its own sponsor class at the local school. Preschoolers and 1st-2nd graders have started a joint invention project (well-being at STEAM). The ECEC center and Rajakylä school cooperate by visiting and participating in joint events, for example.

We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.
