Daisy is our communication and information channel between home and daycare. We use Daisy to communicate, for example, about events and news from the daycare.
Families use Daisy to send us information such as childcare bookings and absence notifications.
We opened a small nature daycare in Lystimäki, Espoo, in August 2023.
Outdoor activities in any weather
Unikko is a nature–oriented daycare centre where children learn a positive attitude towards nature and a sustainable lifestyle. The daycare centre enjoys a lot of outdoor activities regardless of the weather. The activities emphasise exploring and wondering about various natural phenomena, regular hiking and walking in nature. Ingenuity, recycling and utilising nature‘s own gifts in learning and as play equipment are an important part of the daycare centre‘s everyday life.
Diverse activities in accordance with the early childhood education plan
Naturally, our activities also include other versatile activities, such as singing, theatre performances, handicraft and painting sessions, not forgetting moments of rest. Everyday pedagogy is present in every moment of the daycare centre. It is stopping together and wondering about things; counting peas from the salad and playing with colors while painting. We appreciate every unhurried moment we get to spend talking, playing and chatting; exploring the world together.
