Language Daycare Playschool Espoonlahti in Lippulaiva

Pilke Playschool Espoonlahti, located in Espoonlahti, is a warm and welcoming language daycare center that offers both English-speaking and Finnish-speaking groups, as well as preschool education.

We implement the Finnish early childhood education curriculum in both English and Finnish.

A Central Location

Pilke Playschool Espoonlahti is a new daycare center that opened in August 2022 in the heart of Espoonlahti. We are situated on the 3rd floor of the Lippulaiva shopping center, with excellent transport connections. Our facilities are modern and spacious, and we also have a private, fenced yard.

Finnish Groups with English Enrichment

The daycare includes Finnish-speaking groups where children are gradually introduced to the English language a couple of times a week. In this language-enriched early education, children get to practice familiar songs, rhymes, and concepts through singing and exploring in English, while Finnish remains a part of everyday interactions.

Pilke Playschool Espoonlahti - Our client families' experiences

Ingenuity, finding new ways of working, solving problems, looking for the best for the customer are matters close to Pilke and my heart.
The best thing about the daycare is the enthusiastic and friendly staff, who take pedagogy into account in everything they do, and the friends with whom the days are spent.
