Pilke Playschool Mäntyviita: A Small English-Language Daycare in Tapiola, Espoo

Pilke Playschool Mäntyviita is located at Mäntyviita 6 in Tapiola, Espoo, with excellent transport connections and close to museums, parks, and nature. Our small, cozy, international daycare provides high-quality, warm early childhood education for children aged 0–5. One of our groups is bilingual, where both Finnish and English are spoken.

At Pilke, we believe that language learning is much more than just vocabulary and grammar. An English-language learning environment is built around play and interaction. We aim to introduce children to different cultures and help them grow into curious, open-hearted global citizens.

Children Are Encouraged to Express Themselves

We nurture gentle, attentive interaction and create an environment where children learn not only knowledge and skills but also to approach the world with kindness and empathy.


At the heart of our work is each child’s individual development within a warm and caring environment. We ensure that every child has the opportunity to express themselves and actively participate in their own learning process. Our focus is on the child’s holistic growth and development, which we believe is fostered through care, love, understanding, and by nurturing the child’s self-confidence and social skills.
