Early childhood education in English in Kauniainen
An ICEC English-language daycare center opened in August 2021 in a new building in Kauniainen at Kasavuorentie 6, 02700 Kauniainen
In ICEC Kauniainen, we are an English-speaking kindergarten where children have the wonderful opportunity to learn and immerse themselves in the English language. At ICEC Kauniainen, we are happy and proud of promoting a tight community where teachers, children, and families come together to create a warm and supportive environment. Our educators work hand-in-hand with families to ensure that every child feels valued and nurtured.
We actively go on excursions
We are very active in organizing trips and excursions that broaden children’s horizons and minds. Every week, we embark on adventures to the local swimming pool and the nearby forest, allowing the children to explore and learn in natural settings. Additionally, we frequently visit different museums, offering the children a chance to engage in culture and history in an interactive way.
Close and warm community
We believe in the power of community and regularly organize various events in the evenings, where families and children can join in the fun and strengthen their bonds. These events are a wonderful opportunity for everyone to connect, share experiences, and create lasting memories.
At ICEC Kauniainen, we are more than just a daycare; we are a community that values collaboration, exploration, and growth. We look forward to welcoming you and your family into our vibrant and supportive community!

Greetings from the Manager of ICEC Kauniainen!
I am Andrea, the manager of ICEC Kauniainen, where I have been working since we opened our doors in 2021. My passion for early childhood education and love for nature drive me to create a nurturing and enriching environment for all the children in our care.
I truly appreciate the unique setting of Kauniainen, where the natural surroundings offer endless opportunities for children to learn and explore. Despite being part of the capital region, Kauniainen maintains a small-town feel with a close-knit community, which is evident in the many events organized for daycares and schools.
Before moving to Finland at the beginning of 2020, I lived and worked in a daycare in Ireland, where I also studied early childhood education. Last year I graduated from Laurea as an early childhood education sosionomi.
One of my key interests is sensory activities, which help children discover their environment through their senses. These activities encourage children to explore and engage with the world around them in a meaningful way.
As a manager and colleague, people describe me as a dedicated, compassionate and organized person who people can trust and count on. I am proud to lead our team at ICEC Kauniainen where fostering a positive and inclusive atmosphere for both children and staff is a top priority.
