English Daycare and Preschool in Espoo

Albatross Daycare was established in 1998. It is a private, Finnish owned daycare, in which the working language is English. We offer daycare places for 100 children between 1 – 6 years old. Albatross attracts both Finnish and international families who would like their child to be part of an active environment. Albatross Daycare and Preschool are located in the Leppävaara area, which offers easy access to local amenities such as public transportation.

The daycare founder and owner, Eija Rolamo, received the “Entrepreneur of the year”, in 2006, for recognition of the daycare’s accomplishments.

We had a lovely week full of celebrations 🎊 The Parrots had a wonderful Diwali celebration 🪔 and had some delicious snacks made by our very own Mamta ❤️. We learnt about the importance of this holiday and some of its history. The following day the celebrations continued with our Halloween party! 👻 The Parrots had fantastic costumes and enjoyed the decorations and balloon dancing. It was truly a great week 😁

It has been a busy week for the Alberga Hawks and Owls. We started the week with a trip to the forest, where we danced with scarves and played games with the parachute. We also found a new park, that we hope to visit more times!

On Wednesday we went to our weekly visit to the ice-skating rink; everyone is getting so good at skating that we have been playing tag. ⛸️
On Thursday we celebrated Diwali 🪔 🎇 making lanterns, coloring Rangoli and dancing. In the evening parents joined us for a snack and shared some delicious treats with us. Thank you everyone for your collaboration!😊
On Friday we had our Halloween party 🎃👻; we played bingo, roll a monster, spider race, knock the pumpkin down, danced and guessed what was inside the sensory box.

Finally, we wrapped up our theme about pets 😺 🐶 🦜 The Hawks finished their paper-mache pets and the Owls talked about where they live and what they eat.

What a special week! The Hawks had a culturally enriching week learning more about Diwali. We would like to thank all of the parents who participated in teaching us about such a meaningful and wonderful celebration.

We also had a Halloween party full of dancing, laughing and fun! To prepare for the festivities,
we made diyas, rangoli and pumpkins, ate delicious food and celebrated during both events.

On Wednesday we had our second ice skating adventure and all of the children are doing so well!

All of these wonderful activities in addition to our normal playing time and outdoor time!
