A safe day in early childhood education

In early childhood education, we take care of the physical, mental and social safety of the entire community. We make children feel safe in early daycare centre. We discuss safety-related themes within playing, outdoor activities, eating and exploring the immediate environment. Safety education creates a foundation for the childrens safety competence and promotes overall well-being.  

The operating environment of each early childhood education centre is different. You can always talk to the staff if you have any specific questions about safety. 

 Information regarding major disruptions will be provided via Daisy or on the city’s website.

The daycare center prepares safety-related plans and conducts drills for emergency situations. Daycare centre will inform the guardians about exercises.
