Touhula StarBright is a bilingual daycare centre located in Myllytulli, Oulu.
We speak Finnish and English. At our daycare, little word enthusiasts get to enjoy the rich world of languages in many different ways. Children’s interaction and communication skills develop through joyful play, reading moments, rhymes, and songs.
Also check out Touhula Linnanmaa, which also has an English-speaking group.
We develop children’s interaction skills through reading time, rhymes and singing games. Empathy, play, humour and learning good manners strengthen children’s skills of using language. Unhurried conversations, reading and storytelling offer different ways to reflect on the meanings of words and texts. We give children encouraging and consistent feedback, as well as support for language use competences and skills. An environment, which promotes linguistic and cultural diversity, supports children’s linguistic development and inspires children to explore and understand of new perspectives and worldviews. In Touhula Language daycare centres, children develop into tolerant, curious and warm-hearted citizens of the world.
The fee per child at the Touhula StarBright is between €50 and €385 per month. The total price of early childhood education and care consists of the value of a service voucher granted by the municipality and a co-payment by the customer, i.e. the customer fee.
