Martinniemi daycare centre has two preschool groups: Havupuut and Lehtipuut. We strengthen and develop cooperation with Martinniemi School, developing pedagogy for 5–8-year-olds. Cooperation is carried out with a low threshold, in different environments and using common operating environments in a diverse manner.

We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.

Martinniemi daycare centre in Haukipudas is a home-like unit in a quiet location, close to the forest. Nearby you will find the beautiful terrain of the Kiiminki River and the Bay of Bothnia and excellent opportunities for learning and hiking in nature.

Our daycare centre has a good setting for versatile exercise. Inside, we have a large hall at our disposal, with versatile equipment, and in the renovated yard there are many kinds of stimuli for different kinds of exercise, as well as, for example, a gymnasium. lean-to and campfire site. The yard also has a space for nature and environmental education, "owl village", where you can find ideas and materials for nature education and learning in nature.

Our operating culture is based on the City of Oulu's values of courage, fairness and responsibility, which guide and accompany us in everyday life. We work with children's skills and wishes in cooperation with families. Our daycare centre has a happy, inspiring and safe atmosphere for both children and adults.

We create an encouraging, positive and unhurried atmosphere. As a community of educators, we have designed an agreement that guides our joint activities, the "Golden K's" (respect, listen, meet, tell, ask, encourage, praise, thank and touch). These policies, which begin with the letters K, are based on our vision of education and values, which are reflected in our daily operations and to which we are committed.

We implement STEAM pedagogy. STEAM encourages people to wonder, explore and discover phenomena and the uniqueness of everyday life. In our operations, we emphasise small group pedagogy, participation and the practice of emotional skills.

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