At Äänekoski, we grow with you!
Family story - Aarne's daycare hearings

Äänekoski daycare centers and schools offer a good growth environment for the child. Small grows big in Äänekoski!
Heidi Kolu's 4-year-old Aarne is being cared for at the Mikonpuisto daycare center. When Aarne went to daycare at the age of 1, he got to know the daycare, adults, friends and toys in advance. And of course we also wanted to get to know Aarne.
The group of children with thumbs was small and the adults quickly became familiar. Aarne's own favorite adult is still talked about a lot at home.
- The Peukaloinen group had a wonderful, home-like atmosphere. The adults are professional and consider each child individually. Even though Aarne was a little shy when he was younger, the boy slipped into the group very well and was warmly welcomed, says Aarne's mother Heidi Kolu.

If there was ever a more difficult morning, mom would send a message to work when Aarne was already in a better mood and you were playing at full speed. Contact has also been made immediately about allergy symptoms and other special issues.
- At the daycare, my child is genuinely cared for and well taken care of, says Heidi Kolu.
Now there are more playmates in the group of the bigger Maahin and Aarne has plenty to do. The same early childhood education teacher also moved to Aarne's new group, and the new adults bring a nice change. The formation of children's friendships is also well supported.
- The details of Aarne's treatment day are always exchanged at the end of the day. You can also follow the weekly program, songs and pictures on peda.netisä, and messages are sent to parents via the WhatsApp group.

Aarne is a car guy!
For a four-year-old, play is the most important thing. At the Äänekoski daycare center, they want to make even the smallest moments of everyday life important, and the daycare centers focus on play and presence.
Aarne's favorite games are anything related to cars. There are three dogs at home, with whom you can play police dog. Äänekoski's numerous playgrounds, swimming beaches and swimming pools with baby swimming also get points from Aarne and her mother.

Education with warmth and professionalism
The daycare supports families and children are met individually.
- The nursery school has been a bit like an educational partner. Especially for us, the daycare center has played a big role, since I am the only adult in the family. I have received support for my parenting and I am happy with everything the daycare has taught my child, says Heidi Kolu.
Mikonpuisto's daycare center organizes nice family evenings, Mother's and Father's Day breakfasts, and relatives' day, where Aarne has been accompanied by her grandmother. The people at the daycare center take a lot of trips to the surrounding area - and sometimes their own son can be seen from the workplace window. With the children, we go to playgrounds, the library, go skiing, ice skating and exercise in Kuplahalli.
The cultural activities of the city of Äänekoski can be seen and heard! The people at the daycare center go to watch shows, and sometimes we even have guests at the daycare center. Aarne goes to the Ala-Keitele music school's music education group in Musamaja, where the kindergarten staff takes the group members.
- Sports hobbies would also be available for Aarne's age, but at this stage car games are still more interesting, says the mother.
Äänekoski's small schools have a village school-like atmosphere and children get to be children for a long time. Aarne also goes to school close to home in Hietama, which has its own village school!
