Pilke science-oriented daycare centre Pihlaja - outdoor activities and learning new things

Log DayCare Centre Pihlaja opened in Joensuu Opotta in August 2021.Day Care Centre Pihlaja offers high-quality, child-centred early childhood education and pre-school education for children aged 0-6 in a warm and welcoming log day care centre.

Lots of outdoor activities in all weathers

Pihlaja Nature Day Care Centre is a great place for outdoor activities, regardless of the weather. The activities focus on exploring, wondering and hiking in different natural phenomena.

The forest is a good playground for children, with almost unlimited ideas and opportunities for play, movement and creativity. Experiences of nature during childhood and adolescence have a significant impact throughout human life. Nature provides a rich and stimulating environment for children to move and learn. Ingenuity, recycling and using nature’s own gifts for learning and play are an important part of everyday life at the Nature Day Care Centre.

Diversified activities in line with the early childhood education and care plan

Of course, we also offer other varied activities such as singing sessions, theatre performances, arts and crafts and painting sessions, not to mention rest periods. The pedagogy of everyday life is present in every moment of the nursery. It is about stopping together and wondering about things; counting peas in the salad and playing with colours while painting. We cherish every unhurried moment we get to spend talking, playing and goofing off; exploring the world together.

Our daycare is in a sensory-friendly log building

Pilke log-built day-care centres are a response to the rapidly growing demand for clean indoor day-care facilities for children.

In an ecological log nursery, children enjoy fresh indoor air, good acoustics and the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere of solid wood. A healthy and sensory-friendly environment contributes to the well-being of both children and caregivers during the day. Welcome to visit us!
