Pilke Nature Daycare Viljami – A Small, Homely Daycare in Metsokangas

Pilke Nature Daycare Viljami is located in Metsokangas, Oulu, close to nature. Viljami offers excellent opportunities for excursions in many directions: into the forest, local playgrounds, sledding hills, and ski tracks. Our area provides diverse possibilities for exploring the cycles of nature and the changing seasons.

Outdoor Activities in All Weather


Viljami is a nature-focused daycare where children learn a positive attitude toward the environment and sustainable living. Our children spend plenty of time outdoors, regardless of the weather. Activities emphasize exploring and marveling at natural phenomena, regular excursions, and movement in nature.

The forest is a wonderful playground for children, offering almost unlimited opportunities for play, movement, and creativity. Experiences in nature during childhood and youth have a lasting impact throughout life. Nature provides a rich and inspiring environment for children’s physical activity and learning.
