Pikkukiulu is a nature and sports-oriented daycare centre in the pleasant Kiulunkangas district of Oulu. Pikkukiulu started its operation in August 2015. We provide high-quality early childhood education and care and pre-primary education for children below school age. 70 children aged 1–6 years play and grow in Pikkukiulu. The planning of our activities takes account of the fact that children are active and enjoy exercise. Our tremendously spacious premises enable versatile opportunities for exercise. We have a large gym which we also let for sports activities that take place on evenings.

Pikkukiulu is a nature and sports-oriented daycare centre whose everyday operation is characterised by sustainable development and the joy of exercise. We implement the principles of sustainable development through the sorting of waste and favouring environmentally friendly activities, for example. In addition, our support of sustainable development involves Green Flag activities and the Finnish Outdoor Association’s Metsämörri (Forest Troll) activities.

At Pikkukiulu, the joy of exercise can be seen and heard! Our exercise activities are not restricted to instructed gymnastics only, but we practise various sporty activities. The daycare centre has a separate operating plan for physical exercise activities which provide the children with opportunities to try various sports in addition to basic exercise.
