We organize preschool education in the Metkut group.

In preschool education, we favour functional teaching methods and learning by doing in diverse learning environments. We take children's ideas and initiatives and take them into account in teaching. In teaching methods, we are fluent in various digital applications and devices. We provide everyone with the support they need using pictures and other individually designed teaching methods. 

We cooperate with Jääli School in preschool and primary education. The aim of the cooperation is to ensure seamless continuity of the individual learning path of 5–8-year-olds from early childhood education and care to comprehensive school. Together with schoolchildren, we organise, for example, a gymnasium. joint excursions, exercise classes, game days and video advent calendars. 

We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.

Välikylä daycare centre is located in Välikylä, Oulu, in a quiet area close to nature. In addition to the diverse and extensive yard area, there is a playground, a sports field and forest in the immediate surroundings. Environmental education is strongly alive and present in our everyday lives. We encourage children to lead an active lifestyle that respects nature. We offer children a safe and unhurried everyday life and the presence of a sensitive adult. We take into account children's individual needs and ensure everyone's opportunity to participate and learn together.

We are a learning, developing, playful and interactive community. Our daycare centre has a safe and caring atmosphere. As educators, we pay special attention to the positivity and quality of our interactions. We consider it important to have a trusting and honest relationship with the guardians. 

During this operating period, we will promote children's well-being and inclusion as well as education for a sustainable future. We also train staff in the use of STEAM pedagogy in early childhood education. We map and develop children's well-being in accordance with the Wellbeing Daycare Centre operating model through a survey of children, guardians and employees. 

We have an active and enthusiastic parents' committee that is involved in many things. Holding family somersaults in the hall of the kindergarten, children's discos and arranging e.g. children's discos. Sports events for families with children in the area. 

We follow the City of Oulu's early childhood education plan in our operations.
