Mission statement
This is a machine translation.
Our ECEC center is located in the diverse Salonpää area, and we utilise different learning environments in our operations. We hike in the vicinity of the ECEC center almost daily, for example, in the nearby forests and by the sea. Nature is an important learning environment for us, where we play, explore and move.
We inspire children to exercise in a versatile way by exploring different sports opportunities both inside and outside the ECEC center. Together with Salonpää School, we have access to gymnasiums, fields, yard areas, a hut, and in winter a ski track and ice skating rink.
We follow the City of Oulu's early childhood education plan in our operations.
