Pilke Vipinä is a Nature-Oriented Daycare in Iisalmi
Our daycare, Pilke Vipinä, is located in Pöllösenlahti at Pöllösenlahdenkatu 23. We are a nature-oriented daycare that emphasizes strengthening children’s connection with nature and acting responsibly in the environment. Together with the children, we explore animals, study natural phenomena, appreciate nature, and find moments of calm in its presence. For us, nature is an important place for learning, and we also want to take action to protect it.
Excellent Outdoor Exploration Opportunities
The beautiful surroundings of Pöllösenlahti offer great opportunities for hiking and outdoor activities. The nearby forests, playgrounds, ice-skating rinks, and ski trails are an integral part of our learning environment. Convenient local transportation connections further expand our learning opportunities throughout Iisalmi.
Every Child is Valued as an Individual
Our daycare consists of four groups, accommodating children from infants to preschoolers (ages 0–6). Our approach integrates education, care, and teaching, ensuring that every child is seen and valued as an individual. We focus on children’s strengths, participation, and high-quality interaction. It is important to us that every child is noticed in daily activities and has the opportunity to shine through their unique strengths. Through play and engaging activities, we practice different skills together, ensuring that every day is filled with successes and shared moments of joy. Welcome to visit our daycare!
