You will primarily work at two of our daycare centers: Suurpelto Daycare and Maakirja Daycare. The daycare centers are located close to each other and accessible by good transportation links. Suurpelto Daycare has six groups for children aged 0-6 years, with two groups providing pre-primary education. Maakirja Daycare has two groups for children aged 0-5 years. Both units emphasize positive pedagogy and leadership, inclusivity and multiculturalism, child-centeredness, and sensitive, child-respecting interaction. We always aim to collaborate well and respectfully with children's guardians. As a traveling childcare worker in early childhood education, you will work in the groups where a substitute is needed. Your work is varied, allowing you to work with different groups and children. Flexibility is essential, as there will be changes in work units and shifts.
