Varhaiskasvatuksen opettaja - Touhula Leikki Oy - Espoo, Suomi

Your ideas turn into trips that bring joy to learning, under your guidance! We are looking for an early childhood education teacher at Touhula Vekaralahti in Espoo Saunalahti. For us at Touhula, children and families are at the heart of everything. Together with them, we create a happy childhood and a good working life in the most beloved daycare, which is our shared community. At Touhula, early childhood education is much more than plans and routines. It is about everyday insights and people who have the right to influence. Working in small groups allows you to be present and significantly impact children’s daily lives. Perhaps you will be the new member of our team whose influence leaves a warm impression for the future. What kind of daycare is Touhula Vekaralahti? Located in a beautiful area in Espoo Saunalahti, by the sea with good transportation links. We are a daycare with five groups, working in pairs. Our team includes about 15 educators, a daycare assistant, and a director. Our activities are guided by an arts education theme, which is reflected in our daily activities through crafts, music, movement, and expression, as well as an inspiring learning environment. It is important to us that children feel the daycare is a safe and joyful place to come every day — built on sensitive interactions, small group activities, and close cooperation with families. Our surroundings include nearby forests, the sea, and other excursion destinations that we actively utilize. We also organize various events for children and families monthly and annually. At Vekaralahti, we value strong expertise and a desire to develop daily routines together in a growing environment. We are looking for someone who brings ideas, especially about smooth small group activities, and naturally joins children in play, joy, and silliness. We want to enhance our skills and enrich our daily life with new perspectives, so we hope for a committed and enthusiastic work attitude and an interest in developing activities together. We appreciate candidates who have something unique to contribute to our shared work. We look forward to hearing what your strengths are: Do you inspire children to move confidently, bring fairy tales to life magically, or create small performances with plush toys? Or do you enjoy walking in the forest and working outdoors?
