The fee is determined based on the value of the service voucher, which depends on the family size, income, and the child’s early childhood education hours.

Families from Tampere primarily apply for a place on the City of Tampere website. The same application applies for a service voucher.

An Active Nature Kindergarten in Pirkkala – Now with English, Too!
Pilke Nature Kindergarten Haikara opened on Pereensaarentie in January 2018. Haikara is a nature-focused kindergarten where children develop a positive attitude toward nature and a sustainable way of life. Outdoor activities are an essential part of the daily routine, regardless of the weather. The kindergarten emphasizes exploring and marveling at natural phenomena, regular excursions, and outdoor movement.
Nature as a Diverse Learning Environment
The forest is an excellent playground for children, offering endless ideas and opportunities for play, movement, and creativity. Early experiences in nature have a lasting impact throughout life. Nature provides an inspiring and versatile environment for children’s movement and learning. Creativity, recycling, and using natural materials for learning and play are integral parts of everyday life at our nature kindergarten.

English-Language Early Childhood Education
At our daycare, we offer language-enriched early childhood education in English. Children practice familiar songs, rhymes, and concepts together, singing and exploring them in English.
Language-enriched early childhood education is a lighter version of bilingual education. Its goals are to support language learning, motivate children, and broaden children’s language experiences. It can also serve as a stepping stone toward language-enriched programs, language immersion, or other bilingual preschool and primary education options.
