The name of the preschool group at Salonpää ECEC center is Helmet. The preschool group works naturally and in close cooperation with the pupils. Joint activities are carried out regularly and systematically. Preschoolers and schoolchildren participate in each other's events and celebrations.

We follow both the national and Oulu’s own Curriculum for Pre-primary Education in our daily work.

Salonpää ECEC center is located in Varjakka, Oulunsalo. Our ECEC center is part of Salonpää School, which also has a primary school for schoolchildren in the area. Our immediate surroundings offer good opportunities for hiking, moving and exploring.

We act in accordance with the values of positive pedagogy: we take the good into account, encourage children and strengthen inclusion. Our most important values are courage, fairness and responsibility. We encourage children to be their unique selves and treat all children equally.

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 both the national and Oulu’s own Curriculum for early childhood education and care in our daily work.
