Pilke guides children gently on their educational path. Our early childhood education emphasizes learning through play and gentle interaction. We see and support every child’s unique abilities and strengths, with the aim of being the best in Finland’s early childhood education sector. We are now seeking an Early Childhood Education Teacher for Pilke Jokilaiva in Kerava. Start date is 2 November 2026. The Jokilaiva preschool is located in Ahjo, surrounded by good transport links and opportunities for outdoor activity. The preschool provides high-quality, child-centered early education and pre-primary education for 0–6-year-olds. The calm pedagogy creates a safe, warm, and caring everyday life. Art enriches our days and supports children’s growth in many ways. Art and expression are a natural part of our daily life. Children get to try, explore, and discover their strengths. In our daily life you will see and hear: visual and hands-on activities, verbal and narrative expression, movement and physical expression, music and drama.

You master the contents of early childhood education plans and know how to implement them in practice. You plan, assess and develop the pedagogical activities of the child group and you are responsible for the implementation of high-quality pedagogy in your unit. You have a strong pedagogical approach, a positive and active attitude, good interaction skills and the ability to meet children genuinely. We offer you: a monthly salary of 2,762.58–3,011.25 EUR depending on experience; regional availability allowance for qualified teachers 192.36 EUR/month; a signing bonus of 1,500 EUR; an inspiring, nimble and gentle operating culture that genuinely values early childhood education expertise; a workplace where we are committed to acting for the best of the child; diverse training and learning opportunities; the opportunity to work in a growth-focused early childhood education with emphasis on languages, physical education, science and music; flexible, work-supporting learning environments and tools; good working hours; and various employment benefits such as good occupational health services, outdoor jacket, bicycle, massage and wellness benefits.
