In addition to its excellent locality, the preschool curriculum offers children the possibility to develop skills necessary for school.

The children’s parents are very important partners and are always welcome to participate in events organised by the daycare. Albatross Daycare cooperates with local children’s health centers and schools. Albatross provides pedagogical support for all groups and assists families, as much as possible. Albatross Daycare is a reliable partner and takes its responsibilities as an employer and a service provider seriously.
