Presentation of the Tasanne daycare centre
The new daycare centre opened on 5.8.2024. The day-care centre will operate in home areas. The home areas are Kaikukallio, Satumetsä, Mörrikivi and Taikalampi. In addition, there is the Olkahinen kindergarten with four groups and three pre-school groups at the Olkahinen school.
The autumn will be different, as we moved to a new daycare centre, where we started a new activity - home-based activities. The home area will consist of 6 adults and 2 groups working together. The home area is divided into 3-6 small groups, depending on the activity. The adults work in pairs of teams.
This season, the theme is outdoor education. Outdoor pedagogy is a planned activity in which all areas of learning take place. We learn new skills and new things through physical and functional activities. We use the local environment as a learning environment. We encourage children to engage in daily physical activity in different environments. Educators move together with children and lead physical activity and traditional games. Children have access to physical activity equipment in each home area. We use them in a variety of ways, both indoors and outdoors, as learning tools. And best of all, we now have our own gym.
Welcome and have a great start to autumn!
Best regards Anne Mäkinen,
A manager of an Olkahinen-Tasanne ECEC centre
How our daycare centre works
In the morning at 6.00 am, we gather in the Satumetsä green area, from where we move to our own home areas.
When entering and leaving the daycare centre, it is essential to check in with the staff. The transfer of responsibility between parents and staff takes place at check-in. In the morning or afternoon, the child may be looked after by adults from the other home area.
Absences
Please report your child's absences to eVaka or home area staff as early as possible.
Safety
To ensure the safety of the children, it is very important that the gates are kept closed. We ask parents to pay attention to this, even if there are no children in the yard at the time of the pass.
Opening hours
During the school holidays, we either operate reduced or we close the daycare centre. There is no pre-school education during the school holidays. We make an inquiry about the need for care about the emergency hours, because we combine staff vacations with school vacations
Cooperation with families
In early childhood education, the child's care reservations, care times and changes in the need for care are reported in the eVaka application. Reservations must be made by Monday of the previous week. Food orders are automatically placed according to the childcare reservations.
Cooperation between early childhood education and families is based on open interaction. Before starting, an individual treatment contract is drawn up for each child. Daily contacts and early childhood education discussions are the most important forms of cooperation. The discussion is held every operating year with the guardians.
