Pilke Playschool Kalasatama - a small and cosy English-language daycare centre in connection with shopping centre REDI

A brand new kindergarten Pilke Playschool Kalasatama in the heart of Kalasatama, next to the Redi shopping centre, with good transport connections. The entrance to our kindergarten is from the Bryga Park deck on the 5th floor of Redi.

Centrally located

The kindergarten has its own fenced yard area on the Bryga park deck, protected from the bustle of the streets. The pleasant courtyard has a playground for children with climbing frames and swings, as well as green planting areas.

The central location offers opportunities to explore the surrounding area, and the daycare centre often offers excursions to parks, libraries, museums and other cultural sites.

From kindergarten to lifelong language learning

Pilke Playshool is a warm, English-language daycare centre where children can both learn and maintain their English language skills. At the daycare centre, we implement the Finnish early childhood education plan in English.

The teachers are interested and listen what child wants to tell.
