During the operating period 2024-2025, our daycare centre will only provide pre-primary education in English. In the English-language preschool groups Clovers and Lilies there are children aged 5-6 years, some of whom are Finnish-speaking. The groups cooperate with Oulu International School.
We implement pre-primary education on the basis of the pre-school curriculum, based on a child-centred approach and different areas, and taking into account children's learning and support needs. During the year, we practice skills in mother tongue, mathematics, environmental and natural knowledge, manual skills and interaction skills through play. In preschool education, children process what they have learned through independent play, so enough time should be left for it.
We follow the preschool curriculum of the City of Oulu.

Our daycare centre has both Finnish- and English-language activities, three Finnish-speaking groups for children aged 1–5 years and two English-speaking preschool groups, which also include Finnish-speaking 5-year-old children. We are a multicultural and culturally sensitive daycare centre.
Within walking distance of our daycare centre are various cultural institutions, whose services we use diligently to offer children art, culture and sports experiences. In addition, groups of children frequently use the nearby parks by hiking once a week.
