At Home in Nature daycare centre in Viikki’s natural surroundings

At Home in Nature daycare centre Pilke Uikunkoto was established in the Helsinki district of Viikki in 2013. We are next-door neighbours with At Home in Nature daycare centre Sotkankoto with which we engage in regular cooperation. Uikunkoto’s everyday life is shared by approximately 26 children, 4 educators and a daycare assistant. Uikunkoto has its roots in the renowned Taiga Child daycare company (linked site in Finnish) which is now part of the Pilke family.

Vegetable-rich organic food

Our daycare centre premises are located by excellent transport connections right next to Viikki’s open fields. We fill our premises with heartfelt warmth to support the children’s well-being. As part of our playful and warm-spirited everyday life, wooden furniture and toys as well as various kinds of fabric and silk elements help create a natural, homelike atmosphere. A vegetable-rich organic lunch is prepared daily in our kitchen. We allow the children to participate in cooking so that they can see their own handiwork in the meals. The high quality of our foods is verified by our highest three-star rating of the organic food programme Portaat Luomuun.

Luonnossa kotonaan -päiväkotien pedagogiikka

Kaikkien luonnossa kotonaan päiväkotiemme yhteisenä punaisena lankana on ajatus, että varhaislapsuuden ainutlaatuisen ajan ja lapsen henkilökohtainen kasvun tulee voida toteutua kiirettömyydessä, lämpöisessä ja turvallisessa ilmapiirissä, ilossa, arkeen linkittyvän aherruksen touhussa ja erityisesti luonnossa leikkien, liikkuen ja omaan tahtiin ihmetellen.

Luonnossa kotonaan -päiväkodit

Luonnossa kotonaan on ulkoilmaelämää säällä kuin säällä, ympäri vuoden. Toiminnassa korostuvat leikki ja luonnossa liikkuminen, kiireetön yhdessäolo ja yhdessä tekeminen. Toiminnan perustana on näkemys leikkivästä ja liikkuvasta, ainutlaatuisesta lapsesta. Lapsen osallisuus ja kestävä elämäntapa ovat toimintaa ohjaavia arvoja ja näkyvät arjessa.

Päiväkodin ympäristökasvatus syventää luontosuhdetta ja tukee hyvinvointia

”Uskon, että luonto parantaa lasten vastustuskykyä, ja metsäretkillä kiipeily ja epätasainen, vaihteleva maasto tekevät todella hyvää lapsenmotorisille taidoille.” Päiväkodin johtajamme Johanna Luostarinen kertoo artikkelissamme, kuinka luonnon vaikutukset näkyvät lasten hyvinvoinnissa hänen päivittäisessä työssään.
