Touhula VekaraVuori is an adventure-themed daycare centre in Tillinmäki, Espoo. The daycare operates in a facility that binds together elderly care and daycare services. This opens up completely new ways of working together – grandma’s place is in the same building!
At Touhula VekaraVuori we concentrate on nature and environmental education. Sorting our waste carefully is one way of implementing sustainability into our daily activities. The key is to learn and try new things in an experimental way. Often we go on adventures or hikes to the forest or other surrounding nature.
There are three groups of children at Touhula VekaraVuori. Part of our yard is intact forest that makes different kinds of games and plays possible.
For the following issues, contact your daycare center manager:
• daycare places

Ensure your place at Touhula. We fill our places in the order in which applications arrive.
The application process is as follows:
Our daycare centre uses the service voucher of City of Espoo and a customer fee determined according to income. If necessary, the family submits income information directly to the City of Espoo’s early childhood education services.
At Touhula, we operate during the day in small groups in which each child is seen and heard as a unique individual. The childrens’ guardians also have an opportunity to be genuinely present and help fulfil their children’s needs.
The TouGo application is the primary tool for contacting the daycare centre about everyday issues concerning a child.
