Pilke sports-oriented daycare centre Merihevonen

Daycare Merihevonen is located in the Huhtakumpu area, near the center of Lapua. The daycare provides high-quality, child-centered early childhood education and pre-primary education for children aged 0–6. Our daycare fosters a communal and homely atmosphere.

Introducing Various Sports

Pilke Merihevonen is a sports-oriented daycare that aims to support children’s physical activity in daily routines, enhance their interest in exercise and an active lifestyle, and teach a healthy and safe approach to their own bodies and surroundings.

The focus on physical activity is evident in Merihevonen’s daily life through activities such as group gatherings, exercise sessions, and age- and development-appropriate introductions to various sports. We strive to create an environment where children feel safe, free to express all emotions, and valued every day. We continuously develop collaboration with parents and find new ways to enhance their sense of involvement.

Play in the Daycare Yard and Excursions to the Surrounding Area

Every day can become an adventure. This is made possible by our versatile facilities and excellent outdoor opportunities. The forest next to the daycare sparks children’s imagination. In the summer, we take advantage of the nearby children’s traffic park and skatepark. We also organize trips to local parks and the library, which is within walking distance.

The daycare features spacious exercise areas, a climbing wall, and a wide range of sports equipment to support active play and exploration.
