At Imatra, we organize early childhood education in kindergartens, group family daycare, family daycare, open play and club activities, and day care. Preschool education before the start of school is also functionally early childhood education for us.

Preschool education and some of the kindergarten groups operate in our three new school centers. Our school centers are new, because we want to guarantee healthy and modern working and learning environments for both children and our staff. The idea is that the student's progress along the study path is as flexible as possible.

We are the country's leading municipalities in the digital age. Early childhood education has its own digital tutor and every early childhood education teacher has a personal computer for planning and evaluation.

Nature is close to us and easily accessible. We invest in playing, learning and moving in nature. We are also involved in UNICEF's child-friendly municipality model.

We want to offer high-quality early childhood education and together we develop operating models and evaluation. At Keski, we have the child and a positive, solution-oriented pedagogy. The aim of Imatra's early childhood education is to promote the equal, comprehensive development, learning and well-being of all children in accordance with the principles of inclusion.

Join ProVaka, which has been researched to have an impact on well-being at work as well, to guide children's social behavior.

We have modern and healthy working conditions, a positive and open work atmosphere, and competent and enthusiastic colleagues. We have a substitute system for sudden placements.
