A wonderful new daycare centre, Aurinkokello, has been completed in Keski-Pasila, and operations began in August 2025. Early childhood education and pre-primary education services are being introduced gradually in the new unit. The position can also be performed on a part-time basis. Suotnjarat is a sibling group for children aged 2-6 with a teacher and a carer working as a team. The group follows both the Helsinki Early Childhood Education Plan and the Sámi Early Childhood Education Plan. The goal of Sámi-language early childhood education is to support the child’s growth into an independent, responsible, and social individual, as well as to foster the development of their language skills. A child’s proficiency in both languages becomes strong when they follow the immersion path throughout their entire educational journey up to the end of basic education. The group collaborates regularly with both a Finnish-language pre-primary education group and the Sámi class at Pasila Comprehensive School, providing pre-primary-aged children with opportunities to meet and engage in shared activities with children from other pre-primary groups. Aurinkokello operates in the same building as Pasila Comprehensive School, enabling excellent cooperation along the child’s educational path and the natural shared use of facilities. The daycare centre is very easy to reach, with excellent tram, bus, train and cycling connections. What do we expect from you? We hope that your work demonstrates strong basic pedagogical skills in everyday practice and a sensitive approach to meeting children. We expect you to understand the importance of play in a child’s development and learning.

The facilities and learning materials at Aurinkokello are designed to invite play, so we expect you, as an adult, to take responsibility for continuously shaping and developing the play environment.
