A Small and Homely Daycare in Marjala
Pilke Marjala offers child-centred early childhood education and preschool for children aged 0–6 in Marjala, Joensuu. Our daycare is located in a peaceful area, close to playgrounds, forests, and a sports field. The surrounding environment provides excellent opportunities for exploration, excursions, and nature experiences throughout the year. Weekly trips are a natural part of our daily routine.
A Small Community Where Everyone Knows Each Other
We are a small and homely community where children and adults know each other well. A safe and warm atmosphere makes starting daycare easy – every child is met as an individual and accepted as they are.
Listening to children’s wishes, ideas, and thoughts is important to us. We plan activities together with the children and give them a genuine opportunity to influence their daily life.
We actively practise emotional and social skills. Our goal is for every child to feel good, safe, and accepted at daycare. We support children in forming friendships and learning to work together as part of a group.
Warmly welcome to get to know us!
