Joy of play, move and music

Children enjoy our inspiring spaces that encourage them to move. We focus on active and communal everyday life.

We have four Finnish-speaking and two English-speaking groups at our daycare centre. Our daycare centre is very international and we encounter children and families from diverse backgrounds.

  • Daycare additional info

    Our daycare centre is located a quiet residential area at Tikasmäentie 2.

    We welcome all children as they are, appreciating and respecting them. Children learn to accept life’s diversity and good manners.

    In the Finnish-speaking groups, children play and learn new things through discussion, sports, music, and play. In the English-speaking groups, language learning takes place through music, crafts, and small-group activities.

    In addition to language, we emphasize physical movement. We encourage children to move in varied and creative ways during the day. We move for example in our big yard, in the forest and indoors. Apart from that, every group has it’s own room equipped with sports material. We have also a sports hall where rings, ropes and a climbing wall invite children to move. Our daycare center organizes a lot of community events and almost weekly events.  we end the week by having indoor and outdoor disco.

    In Touhula Language daycare centres, children develop into tolerant, curious and warm-hearted citizens of the world.

    Next to our daycare centre is a central park where we go on weekly excursions. Nature education is part of our program. Other excursion destinations are a sports field and nearby playgrounds.

    We create joy of learning and discovering in children’s daily lives. Children learn new things in a positive and caring atmosphere. Clear daily routines, shared practices, and incorporating children’s interests in participatory everyday life contribute to effective learning. Learning skills are practiced together with others. We practice social skills, problem-solving, discussing emotions, and emotional regulation.

    Daily updates are shared with families in a mutually agreed-upon manner. The activities of the day are displayed at the entrance, and children’s updates are communicated to parents at the end of the day. Weekly messages and other communication are managed through the TouGo app.

    In Touhula Tikasmäki, children develop a healthy relationship to physical movement and self-care. This creates a balanced basis for healthy habits of life.
