Fees

The customer fee of the daycare is affected by the allowance for private care granted by the Social Insurance Institution Kela. After the private daycare allowance, our customer fee is a maximum of €325/month. The customer fee is possibly reduced by an income-related care supplement. Check Kela’s new income limits here.

To calculate the final customer fee via the Kela pages, you need the full daycare fee. This fee, as well as additional information, you can ask from the daycare manager.

Our daycare center offers 4 hours of free early childhood education for 5-year-olds, in addition to which the city of Helsinki supports families with 5-year-olds with 160 euros per month. Ask the kindergarten manager for more information.

Music-oriented daycare centre Pilke Paahtimo in Vallila

Pilke’s music-oriented daycare centre Paahtimo opened on Sturenkatu Street in January 2021. Pilke Paahtimo provides high-quality child-centred early childhood education and care at a warm-spirited daycare centre with places for 33 children. At our daycare centre, every child is the super star of their life, just the way they are.

Music, songs and rhymes

Our objective is to provide children with musical experiences, capacities and skills as well as experiences of learning and success. We also encourage the children to start longer-term musical hobbies. We express the musical learning orientation through our love for music, and among other activities, we sing, play instruments, dance and improvise in a joyful atmosphere every day.

Early skills in English

We also offer language-enriched early childhood education in English for children over three years of age. In our language-enriched education, children can practise familiar songs, rhymes and concepts in English through common singing and pondering activities. The language-enriched activities are an easy way for a child to familiarise with a language in a gradual manner.
