Music-oriented daycare centre Pilke Hepokatti has 72 daycare places for children aged 0–6 in Joensuu

Pilke Music Daycare Hepokatti is a music-oriented daycare center that opened its doors in 2017.

At our daycare, music is a part of everyday life. We incorporate music into our activities in a diverse and age-appropriate way—through playing instruments, singing, sounds, silence, movement, and other forms of art. Our goal is to support children’s enthusiasm and curiosity about music and to spark a passion for exploring the world of music and sound through discovery, wonder, and attentive listening.

Hearing the Child’s Voice


We believe every child’s voice should be heard. Flexible and versatile use of space is essential to us. This approach is supported by our core values, which emphasize small group activities and meaningful individual encounters with each child. For example, we stagger activities in the gym and creatively use our group spaces to create themed play areas based on children’s wishes. We also actively explore nearby forests and playgrounds.

In line with the idea of everyday pedagogy, we see every small moment with a child as a learning opportunity—even counting toes before putting on socks!

At Hepokatti, we strive to ensure that everyone always feels welcome and safe here—to explore, wonder, listen, and make music together!
