Smile is a small, cosy English-speaking language immersion daycare centre in Kouvola

Smile is a small, peaceful daycare centre with places for a bit over 20 children. The daycare centre is characterised by a safe, homelike atmosphere. We offer education and care to children aged 3–6 years, but at the discretion of the parents and our personnel, we may admit younger children as well. We also provide pre-primary education.

Smile is an English-oriented daycare centre. We make use of English as part of our everyday operation; when practising polite manners, phrases, songs and rhymes and in connection with certain games. The objective is to familiarise the children with a new language and to foster a positive attitude towards learning languages. Our activities also include plenty of music and singing.

In our early childhood education activities, we emphasise the significance of friendship, good manners and behaviour, respect for others and a positive, permissive and calm atmosphere. This creates an excellent setting for productive play, the joy of learning, doing things together and making friends – the valuable everyday life of children!
