As of August 2024, our daycare centre will have two preschool groups; Sinikellot and Revontulet.

Preschool groups cooperate with our local school, Oulunsalo Church Village School, systematically and regularly. Each preschool group has its own primary education mentor class, with whom a local cooperation plan is drawn up for the entire operating period. Cooperation takes place at a low threshold throughout the academic year. 

We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.

Mäntypelto daycare centre is an eight-group daycare centre opened in October 2022, which also houses extended opening hours and open early childhood education clubs. Groups with extended opening hours are open between 5.30 a.m. and 10.30 p.m. depending on the needs of parents due to work. During this period, open early childhood education groups operate in the premises of Saloila daycare centre (Tolvasenkuja 1). At the heart of our operations is warm and sensitive interaction and a sense of community throughout the house. 

Mäntypelto daycare centre is located in Oulunsalo, surrounded by a wide range of opportunities. Our daycare centre's new building consists of fairytale and nature streets, both of which have four groups busying themselves every day. The streets form a learning environment where groups of children also work communally across group boundaries. The new and modern facilities have been built to be attractive for play, movement and learning. The yards, with their various activities and Oulunsalo resident, attract children to diverse activities. In the vicinity of the daycare centre you will find forests, ski trails, a school with sports and skating fields, as well as playgrounds and a library, which we utilise in our operations.

Our operations emphasise warm and sensitive encounters and interaction, for which we have received praise from families in the customer satisfaction survey. It is important for us to treat every child, parent, colleague and all our partners with warmth. We want every child to feel important and wonderful as they are.  We work in small groups, which makes it possible to meet adults and children and hear children's thoughts and ideas. 

Confidential and open-minded cooperation with parents is the starting point for good early childhood education. A learning plan for early childhood education or preschool education is drawn up for each child together with the parents. Children and parents play an important role in the planning and development of our activities. The ideas of children and parents can be seen in our activities and environment.   

The communal spirit of the whole house is an important value for us. In addition to our own groups, we also work across group boundaries, play together on the streets and collaborate with groups of friends and cousins. Our goal is an unhurried and safe day where children can play and interact with friends and adults. 

We follow the City of Oulu's early childhood education plan in our operations.
