A warm-hearted learning environment is important to us

Kustavi’s early childhood education is based on the national criteria for early childhood education and the local early childhood education plan. The most important values ​​in Kustavi’s early education are warmth, openness, justice and security. The goal is to create a warm and safe growth environment for every child, where the child has the opportunity to participate, express themselves and receive care, upbringing and education in line with their development. The child’s affiliations are discussed daily with the child’s guardians, and at least twice a year there is a discussion about the child’s early childhood education plan. Cooperation with guardians is carried out in confidence, listening to the wishes of the guardians. Once a month, guardians also have the opportunity to attend family dinners at the kindergarten.
