Kivimies day care centre

The Kivimies day care centre (Kivimiehen päiväkoti) is located in central Otaniemi with good transport connections and close to the local metro station. The day care centre's diverse indoor and outdoor facilities enable the utilisation of different learning environments. A large, fenced yard area provides an inspiring setting for play, exploration and physical activity. Our indoor facilities include spaces for exercise, arts and wrestling for small children.

Our neighbourhood houses Aalto University and the big international companies of the nearby Keilaniemi area, which is why internationality is highlighted in our day care centre; several different languages and cultures are represented here.

In addition to Finnish-language early childhood education, we also offer bilingual early childhood education in Finnish and English. We consider enhancing children’s interaction and expression skills and cultural competence important.

The total number of children in the Kivimies day care centre is approximately 100.
