Pilke Playschool Tapiola: A Small English-Language Daycare in Tapiola
Pilke Playschool Tapiola is located near nature, parks, the library, and museums. The daycare is within walking distance of the Urheilupuisto metro station, making it easy to reach from both Helsinki and Espoo.
Pilke Playschool Tapiola is an English-language daycare that provides warm, child-centered early childhood education and preschool for children aged 0–6. Once a week, we also organize Finnish clubs to support children’s Finnish-language learning.
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 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. We believe this happens through care, love, and understanding, while fostering the child’s self-confidence and social skills.
In everyday daycare life, children engage in a variety of activities—they play, explore their environment, and share stories, developing creativity and curiosity along the way.
