Diverse and high-quality activities in a homely environment
Nature Daycare Soittajankangas is located in Soittajankangas, a new neighborhood in Hiukkavaara.
Soittajankangas is a nature-focused daycare where children learn a positive attitude toward nature and sustainable living. The daycare emphasizes outdoor activities regardless of the weather. Our program highlights the exploration and wonder of various natural phenomena, regular hiking, and movement in nature. Creativity, recycling, and using nature’s own resources as learning tools and play materials are integral parts of our daily routine.
Small Group Activities and Excursions with Our Own “Muksubussi”
Our daycare has 10 child groups and modern, flexible learning environments. The daycare is located near beautiful hiking trails and a local library, where we visit weekly. Throughout the day, we work in small groups and focus on full-day pedagogy.
Soittajankangas also has its own “muksubus,” which allows us to go on longer excursions with small groups. In our gymnasium, children engage in physical activities according to our movement plan.
All meals at our daycare are prepared by our own cook. High-quality, clean food is a major point of pride for us.
