Herajoki daycare

We operate in the Haapala building of Herajoki School, together with preschool and school afternoon activities. There is one early childhood education group in Herajoki.

We make use of the school's versatile yard a lot in everyday life, both with forest trips and field games. We also use the well-equipped school gym.

We practice friendship and interaction skills, emotional and safety skills, as well as everyday basics with activities that encourage the child. Our values are guided by the city of Riihimäki's own and the national early childhood education plan and the Pay attention pedagogy.

Our operations are guided by openness, encouragement, equality and a positive atmosphere. We treat all children and families equally, taking their differences into account. We create an atmosphere where everyone can be themselves as an individual and feel proud of themselves. Involvement and child-orientation are the basis for the planning of activities. Robotics, which is the flagship project of the city of Riihimäki, is strongly visible in our everyday life.
Mansikat is an early childhood education group staffed by an early childhood education teacher and two early childhood education nannies.
